Reddit reviews The Butcher: And Other Erotica

Paid: 'The Butcher and Other Erotica', by Alina Reyes and translated by David Watson. To be specific, I'm recommending the first short story in the collection, titled 'The Butcher'. Here's a Goodreads link and an Amzazon link.

From the Inside Flap: "A young Frenchwoman goes to work in a butcher's shop during her college vacation. Every day the butcher whispers obscenities in her ear, describing their imagined lovemaking. And as the summer heat takes hold, so does her lust."

Paid Description: I can't say I found this short story to be particularly erotic, but it was certainly unforgettable. The sensation of reading 'The Butcher', though occasionally uncomfortable, felt like being wholly submerged into another person's sexuality. Every sentence is an image and every paragraph is tangible. That said, the deliberately dehumanizing meat-related metaphors gave me a head-ache about half way through.
