“This is not a pretty story…” begins the first of this collection of Melinda Gebbie short stories, and the description could easily apply to all of them. A recurring theme here is the revenge of women upon rapists—in one story, it’s 2023, and it is the men who live in fear, suffering at the hands of women of all ages who molest and torture them. Frequently the abuse is of sexual nature, and these tales are not for the squeamish. Another story is of a sexual encounter as viewed through the eyes of a child; rarely has sex seemed so scary. Pretty graphic and unpleasant stuff, but also the work of a gifted creator.

Featuring story titles along the lines of “In Debasement” and “Vulva-Time,” this collection is published in black-and-white (mercifully) by Last Gasp Comics.
