In Between the Sheets by Ian McEwan
3.0
This is the second collection of short stories by Ian McEwan published in 1978 after [b:First Love, Last Rites|26085741|First Love, Last Rites|Ian McEwan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1519936654l/26085741._SY75_.jpg|3125981] in 1975.
All these stories share a lot of darkness, perversity, and absurdity in many "unpopular" topics such as incest, morbid sexuality, murder, and toxic human relationships. I really loved how they give you the feeling and meaning of McEwan's later novels and his writing style.
As the author himself stated back then: "They were a kind of laboratory for me. They allowed me to try out different things, to discover myself as a writer."
