Body Shocks
COPY ISBN
The stories in the latest collection edited by horror veteran Datlow run the gamut from ethereal creepiness (“La beauté sans vertu,” by Genevieve Valentine), to haunt-your-dreams gross-outs (“Welcome to Mengele’s,” by Simon Bestwick). One has even been made into an episode of Hulu’s series Monsterland (“You Go Where It Takes You,” by Nathan Ballingrud). There are some absolutely stellar stories that will follow readers for days, and not a single dud to weigh down the collection. John Coulthart’s interior illustrations of anatomical mysteries add to the overall ambiance. Contributors include all the big names in body horror as well as some lesser-known authors, making the collection a must-have for body horror neophytes and experienced readers alike.
VERDICT This authoritative collection is a must for any library, as an introduction to body and extreme horror for readers and librarians alike. Recommend to readers who love horror stories that make their skin crawl while they read about skin literally crawling.
