Most anthologies - but especially horror anthologies - are a mixed bag. Usually what I’ve found is if it’s a good anthology, the majority of the stories within will be just kind of so-so, there will be a few misses, and a couple of them will manage to be truly amazing.
This was an amazing anthology. Each story was well written, rich in vivid grotesque imagery, masterful characterization, and meaningful storytelling. There honestly wasn’t a single dud in my opinion. There were one or two stories that weren’t quite as engaging as the others, but they were still far from duds.
I am an avid horror fan, be it in books or movies or music, and am fairly desensitized to body horror but there we’re absolutely various scenes throughout these stories that had me wonderfully grossed out.
Trans body horror continues to be the best body horror around.
