These stories aren't exactly body horror, but each odd little tale involves a character's fixation with an aspect of her or her own body, or that of someone else. A housewife finds herself pulled into her young daughter's plastic surgery fantasy. A repressed salary-man finds release via strangers on public transport. A man tries an experimental cure for hair loss and experiences an unfortunate side effect. A high school girl becomes obsessed with losing weight after a dorm-mate makes a casual comment about the size of her ass. And a victimized and rage-filled boy learns to fight after an encounter with a shadowy man on the street. Slice-of-life stories with a touch of the uncanny. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Self-esteem, the cost of vanity and being-careful-what-you-wish-for are the thematic connective tissue of Body's collection of psychological horror stories. In the vein of The Twilight Zone, each story ends with a shock leaving the reader unsettled: a girl is reduced to skin and bone when she develops bulimia as a result of bullying; a woman's desperate attempts to regain her husband's attention through cosmetic surgery have unexpected results; an unruly man's fascination with boxing consumes his life; and more.
