Catastrophic Disruption of the Head by Margo Lanagan...To be honest I didn't really enjoy this story very much. It was very dark and the main character is very disturbed and unlikable/unrelateable. The descriptions of rape and violence made me quite uncomfortable and the disjointed way the story was written while clever, I found slightly boring. Once read though, and after reading Margo's explanation of what she was doing with old fairy tale, I gained a greater appreciation for the message behind the story, though I don't know if it comes across on it's own without explanation. I'm not against the idea of offering insight into the mind of an antagonist, but more often than not I think it makes for a not very pleasant read.
