This creepy collection examines what it’s like to have a body as a woman with a fantasy horror angle. I had a crush on Carmen Maria Machado after reading her memoir and this just solidifies that. Great for horror fans, especially if you enjoy body horror and/or social commentary in your horror.
Graphic: Body shaming and Body horror
Moderate: Sexual assault and Homophobia
