I Hold a Wolf by the Ears - by Laura Van Den Berg

I Hold a Wolf by the Ears is a collection of 11 haunting, unsettling stories that explore grief, misogyny, friendship, violence, and other topics with an arresting premise: that the way women in contemporary society experience the world is best understood as a psychological horror story.

Through these stories, van den Berg reveals a deeper, more mundane truth about what it's like to live as a woman in this world, pointing to a subtle undercurrent of dread that permeates every facet of our lives.

With remarkable control and transcendent talent, van den Berg dissolves the border between magic and annihilation, presenting a collection of women on the verge, trying to grasp what's left of life.

This book is a must-read for anyone who loves ghost stories, surrealism, and unsettling tales that linger in the mind long after finishing the last page.
