Her Body and Other Parties

Blending horror, fantasy, and speculative fiction, this genre-bending collection of stories explores the violence and beauty of life in a woman’s body. With queer desire at the center, Carmen Maria Machado examines intimacy, autonomy, and erasure through tales that are haunting, erotic, and fiercely inventive.

~ Included for its bold, surreal portrayal of queer womanhood and its celebration of stories that resist easy categorization. Machado crafts unsettling beauty from the margins. ~
