Like Cat Person, You Know You Want This is about the ways in which women are horrifying as much as it is about the horrors that are done to them. Among its pages are a couple who becomes obsessed with their friend hearing them have sex, then seeing them have sex until they cant have sex without him; a woman who finds a book of spells half hidden at the library and summons her hearts desire: a nameless, naked man; a ten-year-old whose birthday party takes a sinister turn when she wishes for something mean; and a self-proclaimed "biter" who dreams of sneaking up behind and sinking her teeth into a green-eyed, long-haired, pink-cheeked coworker.
