This short story collection features four tales that explore the theme of skin in various ways, including slivers, snake skin, glass cuts, burns, and pricks. The audiobook version, with its unique narrators for each story, was a great way to experience the tales. Eric LaRocca's writing style shines, and the characters' distinct voices come alive when heard aloud. It's captivating to see how each character's unusual mind works. As an added bonus, almost every story features queer characters, making this a great choice for Pride Month reading. I highly recommend giving this book a try!
