“Between the dormant static in my brain and the squeeze of her fingers, we‘re Einstein‘s secret equation.”
I love this collection of short stories so much, I‘m almost furious this was overlooked last year. It‘s everything a short story collection should be. Strange, unpredictable, and enigmatic.
Obsessed with this collection of short stories!
A mother has a son born with a tail; a woman sees her boyfriend‘s meaty doppelgänger; twin sisters who have a past and a guy who is...strange; ...these are weird and amazing and there‘s 18 of them! I feel spoiled with this author. Absolutely love her writing. ❤️
Happy reading. ??
It's that time! Going to warm up with short stories and coffee! #readathon #deweys24hourreadathon

Just finished this really great short story collection. My first completed collection of the year. I love Okojie's writing style and cant wait to read more. This was an extremely diverse collection of stories with supernatural, paranormal and realistic entries. Definitely recommend!
It's February and so far #keepingitshort is a success. This is easily the most short stories I have read in a long time.
Late post: this was January's Call Box book. Call Box is a library themed (run by librarian) subscription box of black literature. Each month you get a new book, items themed around the book, AND A CARD CATALOG RECORD AND SPINE LABEL for the book. Yeah, I nerd out a bit about the records. Anyway, subscribing has been my gift to myself this year. Discovered so many great writers and new voices through it. I've loved every selection so far.

Only 6 more short stories in this collection. I might end up finishing this earlier than anticipated because its a e-arc from Netgalley. I accidentally read these two back to back between books. My bad! It's just that good.

This woman and her vivid imagination is just giving me so much life...

Crushed. This one hurt.
"I'm sad that we never see monsters changing their disguises. Sad that teenage conformity can be a knife to the skin and that unspoken things can take the shapes of wolves and men interchangably."

This is just an extremely diverse collection of stories. I'm never sure what to expect from each one. Her range is incredible!

Not sure why I loved this particular short story so much but the idea of a Robin Hood type character dressed in a chicken costume is just really memorable.
#allisnotlost as long as we have short stories with leads like this. Thanks for the shot at free books @Liberty (I have a feeling if you are reading this you follow her but if not you really should)!

This was a very odd story about two souls in the afterlife. Not at all what I was expecting but intriguing.
Because the publisher ran out of the print run, my #callnumberbox was book less (for now--it's coming). But that anticipation makes me want it more. This box has been great so far.

Each of these short stories are so unique and are written so well! I never know where each story is going to go but I am enjoying Okojie's voice.

There is no set number for how many short stories I want to read throughout the year. I simply want to read at least one after each book I read. So far so good! Five books read, five short stories read so far in 2017.

This is my second short story from this collection and my fourth short story for the year.
Animal Parts was really interesting. It's the story of a woman and her son who wS born with a tail. It's a really heart wrenching look at the way society treats outsiders.
I'm in love with Okojie's writing. I can't think of a better word than intoxicating.

Whoa, I've only read this one short story so far but damn if it wasn't hard hitting and really well damn done! I won't put up a rating until I finish all the stories. But I don't think I'll be disappointed. Not if the rest of the stories are like this one.
more from speak gigantular because this book is criminally under-read.

pickI don't pretend to understand what is happening in this collection. all I know is that I like it. sexy and silly and ridiculously original, Okojie is definitely one to watch. (from afar. with plexiglass between us.)
