Pickpick

The first few stories were interesting. Then as the book progressed they became less so. My favorite stories were:

Mother's Mother's Daughter - This was a really interesting story about witchcraft. I liked the use of the body to do magic.
Pig Feet - a very creepy story. Disturbing.

I could really do without all the poetry. It is my least favorite thing to read. I'm just here for the short fiction.

This is a low pick for me.
