I just finished Wounds by Nathan Ballingrud, a collection of short stories about hell. Holy fuck, Skullpocket is one of the best short stories I've ever read. I starts kinda silly and then... damn.
Most of the way through Tilt by Emma Patee. A story about a woman who's nine months pregnant in Portland when the Big One hits the Cascadia Subduction Zone (Massive Earthquake.) It's a fast, easy, insanely emotional read. Not a favorite, but I'm hooked.
Do "Wounds" have some relation to The Visible Filth? Just looked up the book and it seems author's another book The Visible Filth got made into a movie "Wounds", so wondering if there's any relation to these two books, or it's just random naming.
Wounds is a collection of short stories. The Visible Filth is included.
