Your Body is Not Your Body by Alex Woodroe
5.0

There’s a visceral, exhilarating quality to this collection. The contents twitch and thump like vital organs, vivisected and tangled. They promise new tomorrows and terrors to go with them.

There are a few typos, a few instances where some of the works might have benefited from a second draft, but even in these flaws there is a sense of urgency, of raw creativity and authenticity that is too often missing from horror and its branching genres. These works weren’t written as an experiment in gross-out, mindless gore. They were written in both The grief and celebration of the unique identities of their creators in the trans and gender non-conforming community.

As David Cronenberg once said, “This is an artist giving their all to their art.”
