Bound in Flesh is a great collection of trans body horror short stories and definitely a recommendation if you are into body horror!

As it often happens with short story collections, some stories I enjoyed more than others but there wasn’t one I didn’t like, so overall I enjoyed the whole collection a lot.

Some of the stories were hard to read because they were very graphic and gorey and really made my stomach churn, while others were a bit milder, but the overall vibes were nicely disturbing.

The writing in all of the stories was pretty good as well and the stories were all incredibly unique and creative.

This collection was unlike anything I ever read but now I’m definitely intrigued to get more into the genre.
