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.

I totally enjoyed this book, some off the story's blew my mind they were that good

Loved the read

The stories were alright at best, more stylistically horror than actually scary. Maybe 3 stories were actually creepy, the rest were wasted potential. A model with someone else's arms walks naked into the woods, the end. One spent 40 minutes describing a diner, the only "horror" ended up being the narrator leaving her kid at a rest stop. Boring.
