Flowers from the Void

”Don't worry, this house is safe from ‘demonic forces'.
Except the ones you already left in.”

A dangerous seance goes horribly wrong. A girl carries out a tricky mission of revenge and retribution. A young member of a coven in Salem tries to become accepted and resurrect her lover in a story with a unique feeling, whimsical, gothic, haunting. A tender boy, quiet and kind-hearted, is fascinated by the peculiar behaviour of a strange classmate with an unnervingly special family. A girl without a shadow tries to face a world suspicious and enticing.

A woman suffering tremendous personal trauma is in need of new skin. A heavily wounded man struggles under the psychological abuse of his mother-in-law (well, aren't we all...?) A dollmaker creates comforting likenesses of the beloved deceased. An Angel of Death finds prey in a bar.

Dark stories (some of them will be really hard to stomach) where the supernatural meets the REAL terror of physical and emotional pain. A few of the stories may seem too confusing, disjointed, lacking a clear direction, but others are simply literary gems.

Definitely difficult, undeniably unique.

Many thanks to Serpent's Tail and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
