Auxiliary Skins pdf

Existing somewhere in that chasm between bodily function and natural souledness Christine Miscione s debut collection Auxiliary Skins illumines all that s perilous beautiful and raw about being human From the surgically gutted to the racially transformed to a story of self excision that won Miscione the Vanderbilt Exile Short Fiction Award this collection is chockfull of of razor blades masquerading as lemon tarts and everything in between Auxiliary Skins A Collection of Short StoriesI m probably going to read this book again I read it a couple years ago I m still thinking about it years later The stories are definitely creepy and unsettling and some very believably real eg the short story about advice on internet forums The stories have a Chuck Palahniuk flavour written by a clearly talented Canadian writer and are a propos the human body I don t recommend this as Sunday reading because it might spoil your brunch 156 Christine Miscione s Auxiliary Skins kicks ass and takes names in a diabolically poetic way Some of the stories positively soar Others are just badass 156
