Mouth: Stories by Puloma Ghosh

dark emotional reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

Mouth is a delightfully surreal collection of stories. A young woman raises a werewolf boy. A coroner performs an autopsy on her ex-lover. A girl is sacrificed to a persimmon tree to save her community. A figure skater is in love with one of her teammates, who just may be undead. The women in these stories each experience monstrousness to varying degrees. And each character is fully realized -- despite the inevitably short nature of each story.

Mouth is perfect for lovers of queer horror, female-driven short stories, and the bizarre. And it just came out on Tuesday, so you can find it now wherever you source your books!

Thank you @astrahousebooks, @netgalley, & @pulomeow for the e-ARC of Mouth in exchange for my honest review! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
