Apple of My Eye is a short story collection by Amy Grech, a writer from New York of whom I was previously unaware. She packs quite a lot into a fairly short (121 pages) book, with stories that show an emphasis on sexual and body horror. There are 13 stories here, meaning that few clock in at 10 pages or more, and they function as the literary equivalent of sharp jabs. Her prose is provocative, in a deeply disturbing way.
Ms. Grech exhibits a wealth of fascinating ideas, and my biggest complaint would be I would have like to have seen some of the ideas developed into longer pieces, but that is probably more of a testament to their intriguing nature. Ms. Grech is not at present as widely known as many other writers, but I imagine that is likely to change. I look forward to reading some of her longer work in the future. You may read more about Ms. Grech and her work here.
