📝 Description: Body Shocks: Extreme Tales of Body Horror
Bestselling editor Ellen Datlow (Lovecraft's Monsters) presents body horror at its most wide-ranging and shocking best. Discover twenty-nine intricate, twisted tales of the human body, soul, and psyche, as told by storytelling legends including Carmen Maria Machado, Richard Kadrey, Seanan McGuire, Caitlin R. Kiernan, Nathan Ballingrud, Tananarive Due, Cassandra Khaw, Christopher Fowler, and many more. The most terrifying thing that you can possibly imagine is your own body in the hands of a monster. Or worse, in the hands of another human being. In this definitive anthology of body horror selected by a World Horror Grandmaster, you'll find the unthinkable and the shocking: a couture designer preparing for an exquisitely grotesque runway show; a vengeful son seeking the parent who bred him as plasma donor; a celebrity-kink brothel that inflicts plastic surgery on sex workers; and organ-harvesting doctors who dissect a living man without anesthetic.

While the editor’s reputation guarantees high-quality prose from established names, the content is undeniably extreme and grotesque. It is not suitable for readers with low thresholds for visceral disgust or those who prefer psychological subtlety over explicit physical violation. Those who enjoy the works of Carmen Maria Machado or Richard Kadrey will likely find their tastes met here, while others should approach with caution given the intense nature of the selected tales.
