A review by myweereads
Under Her Skin by Lindy Ryan, Linda D. Addison, Toni Miller
4.0
“I need to go away from myself in order to heal. Be separate from my body, and the way skin makes me feel.”
Under Her Skin is edited by Lindy Ryan and Toni Miller. It is a poetry showcase featuring several female poets and authors. These are works which haven’t been published before. The theme of this collection is body horror and how it has cleverly been interpreted in the styles adopted by each of these Women in Horror.
What I found made this an addictive read was that each author and poet spoke of body horror in ways which were graphic, visceral, with beauty and with depravity. Within each of these dark verses and lyrical prose is a reflection on what body horror can be visualised as.I was constantly highlighting quotes as some hit home more than others.
There are some intimate graphics within the pages which blend in beautifully with the horror being revealed from word to word.
This is a memorable collection of works which I think a lot of people would enjoy reading.
