droggelbecher42 's review for:
Your Body is not Your Body
by Alex Woodroe, Matt Blairstone
challenging
dark
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
N/A
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Deeply, deeply haunting book.
The vivid description of body horror really got me, often had to stop after my favorite stories since I was so freaked out that I needed a mental break.
I don't even know if I could crown one favorite from the assembled stories since they are all so different.
I know that the mental images and the intense feeling of unease from "Brother Maternitas" will continue to haunt me.
And I won't forget the brief moment of actual horror when some religious carol singers had the worst timing ever and started singing on my street while I was reading "Because my mother tells me so" about a "zombie" showing up at a person's home wanting to convert them.
Definitely wouldn't recommend reading singular stories without checking the content warnings first
