Your Body is not Your Body
by Alex Woodroe, Matt Blairstone
I was surprised by how much I loved this anthology, given that horror usually isn't my genre. Overall, this anthology is well-curated, and the stories are nicely organized.
Some of my favorite stories:
High Maintenance by S.A. Chant - A deep and dark look into domestic violence and robots
The Same Thing That Happened to Sam by M. Lopes da Silva - Something homophobes and transphobes would 100% do to queer people if they could. Chilling.
Why We Keep Exploding by Hailey Piper - Probably the best story in the entire anthology and a powerful story about fighting against the patriarchy.
Lost in Reincarnation by Devaki Devay - Maybe I also want to transition into an octopus.
Fencing Chestplate by Avi Burton - An extremely powerful story about the cis gaze on trans bodies and how it intersects with our transitions and how to do it dramatically (via black magic).
Gender Envy by Gabriel Valentine - Too true.
The Divine Carcass by Bitter Karella - Because I do love a fucked up story featuring religious trauma, and the story is hilarious.
The Simulacrum by Max Turner - I think Mary Shelley would appreciate this homage to her work. I also cannot get the image of ripping one's breasts off with super soldier power out of my head.
