About this product
Product Information
*Nominated for 2022 Splatterpunk Awards* 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, Caitlín 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. 'Marked by a diverse table of contents and illustrations that enhance the conflicting emotions of unease and wonder that lie at the heart of the appeal of body horror...' -- Booklist , starred review '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.' -- Library Journal , starred review 'Hugo Award-winning editor Datlow ( Edited By ) brings together 29 spine-tingling tales of body horror to terrify even the most seasoned horror reader.' -- Publishers Weekly , starred review

Reviews
Praise for World Horror Grandmaster Ellen Datlow "I have a short list of editors that I will buy an anthology of, regardless of whether or not I have even heard of the writers it contains, and Ellen Datlow is at the top of that list." -- Horror Talk [STARRED REVIEW] "Superstar editor Datlow makes no missteps." -- Publishers Weekly "With Ellen Datlow at the helm, there was never really any doubt about the quality of the selections on hand." -- Innsmouth Free Press "Datlow has more backed-up expertise and accumulated assets than almost any other horror/dark/weird editor in the business. --TeleRead "Datlow once again proves herself as a master editor." -- Arkham Digest "Superb taste and expert experience." -- Reading 1000 Lives "Datlow is not just an expert (sorry, Ellen, but it's the right word) at recognizing great horror; she's an expert at recognizing great storytelling." -- Cemetery Dance, Advance praise for Body Shocks "Ellen Datlow doesn't just have her thumb on the pulse of horror, she is the pulse of horror." --Stephen Graham Jones, bestselling author of The Only Good Indians [STARRED REVIEW] "Hugo Award-winning editor Datlow ( Edited By ) brings together 29 spine-tingling tales of body horror to terrify even the most seasoned horror reader. These visceral works take myriad approaches to the genre, but all revel in the grotesque possibilities of the human body. 'The Old Women Who Were Skinned' by Carmen Maria Machado is an eerie, cautionary fable about the pitfalls of vanity. Terry Dowling's stomach-churning 'Toother' follows the grim exploits of a serial killer who collects the teeth of his victims. The woman in Kirstyn McDermott's 'Painlessness' feels no pain when injured and makes her living giving men an outlet for their violent fantasies. In 'The Lake' by Tananarive Due, a woman metamorphoses into a predatory sea creature. A confectioner transforms his fiancée's ghost into delectable treats enjoyed by the Parisian elite in Lisa L. Hannett's grossly gluttonous and deliciously weird 'Sweet Subtleties.' Cassandra Khaw's intense 'The Truth that Lies Under Skin and Meat' follows a werewolf who takes distinct pleasure in devouring her victims, much to the dismay of her handler. And Simon Bestwick's bizarre alternate history 'Welcome to Mengele's' takes readers into a Nazi doctor's movie theater where patrons watch their sickest fantasies play out on screen. These wholly original and truly chilling tales are not for the faint of heart." -- Publishers Weekly "So vivid and intense as to result as a slap in the reader's face." -- Hellnotes "The most respected anthologist of our time, Ellen Datlow has earned a permanent place in the history of prominent editorship of the dark and fantastic. She has left a mark that is unlikely to be surpassed." --Joe R. Lansdale, author of the Hap and Leonard series "Ellen Datlow is the undisputed queen of horror anthologies, and with Body Shocks her crown remains untarnished." --David J. Schow, author of Suite 13 "Ellen Datlow is the tastemaker, the greatest, most respected, and most prolific horror anthologist who's ever lived. Every Datlow anthology is a gift to the genre." --Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Ararat "Balanced to cover all tastes and types of body horror, from skin crawling to downright dirty. Some stories definitely shock more than others, swinging wildly from subtle to schlocky without warning, so be wary as you turn each page--or at the very least, have some dry toast and water on hand to keep your belly settled. You're not making it to the end of this book unchanged." -- Ginger Nuts of Horror Praise for World Horror Grandmaster Ellen Datlow "I have a short list of editors that I will buy an anthology of, regardless of whether or not I have even heard of the writers it contains, and Ellen Datlow is at the top of that list." -- Horror Talk "With Ellen Datlow at the helm, there was never really any doubt about the quality of the selections on hand." -- Innsmouth Free Press "Datlow has more backed-up expertise and accumulated assets than almost any other horror/dark/weird editor in the business. --TeleRead "Datlow once again proves herself as a master editor." -- Arkham Digest "Datlow is not just an expert (sorry, Ellen, but it's the right word) at recognizing great horror; she's an expert at recognizing great storytelling." -- Cemetery Dance

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
