A collection of horror and speculative fiction stories that draw from a feminist perspective. The stories were all very different and encourage us to rethink our relationship to our bodies, femininity, and relationships.
such odd gross gory book!!! body horror and content warnings galore in this anthology of unique short stories exploring the Body in horror. however i loved the writing style. and for a splatterpunk horror, the content is to be expected. still, WTF after some of those stories! very unique.

This one was tough to get through. I’m typically alright with most types of body horror, however when there are aspects of r*pe and animal abuse, I can’t stomach it.
Rose Keating projected some of the most horrific depictions of body horror within Oddbody — a collection of stories that left an unsettlingly bitter taste in my mouth.
Content warnings are necessary for this one — but I am still thankful for the opportunity to try this one out. Thank you to Simon Books, Rose Keating, and Netgalley for the digital access before it hits shelves on July 1, 2025.
