** Edited as review is now live on Kendall Reviews! **The Sci-Fi and Scary team have continued to promote and share great content, so when they announced they were in the process of putting out an anthology, it was exciting. When the time came and the open call went live, I remember seeing how many people were over the moon to try and submit something for this.Now, the anthology is arriving into the book world and I was very fortunate to receive a digital arc from Sam, who has become a great fri...
*4.5Disclaimer, I had no part in putting together any of this anthology, however, I am part of the SciFi and Scary Crew.Review to come.
Let me front this review with a caveat for y'all: I've been following the Sci-Fi & Scary review crew for a while and have become Twitter friends with several of the reviewers who devote their time to keeping this site going. They've even reviewed a few of my own releases along the way. Still, I believe I was able to approach this review with a bit of detachment and my honest thoughts on this anthology are reflected here. Personally, I was delighted to see this site branch out into publishing the...
Disclaimer: I have a story in this collection.There is a lot to digest and experience in this collection, with some stories going hard-out with real dark, body-shock, and others offering a more subtle, disturbing brand of horror. With thirty stories to choose from, there is bound to be a good number that hit the mark. Stories of note that I really enjoyed: Witness Bearer by R.J. Joseph, Cul-De-Sac of the Affected by Madeleine Swann, The Foal with Two Heads by Andrew Joseph White, Unspooling Scre...
This anthology is a delightful grab-bag of stories suitable for the body horror aficionado. I only wish some of them were a little longer, which is never a negative thing! Great collection!
Review forthcoming.
Twisted Anatomy is a compilation of body horror stories of the utmost quality. From the very first page you are flung into a grotesque gore filled, blood flowing (oh dear lord the blood!) nightmare that had my knees tightly clenched. Blood Bogged set a high precedent and I hoped that the rest of the book would be just as intoxicating. With every new story I was more and more impressed. There were teeth and tentacles galore and gut wrenching, spine tingling, full on fuckery throughout. I read a f...
I don’t often give multi-author anthologies a perfect 5/5, simply because it’s hard for a given editor’s tastes to line up well with any given reader. But Twisted Anatomy: A Body Horror Anthology really hit the mark for me. First, I should note that since this is body horror, there are a LOT of trigger/content warnings (there’s a list by individual story at the end of the book, but here’s the summary): menstrual blood, gore, defecation, vomiting, surgery, bullying, pregnancy, miscarriage, slut-s...
Sci-Fi & Scary has put together a body horror anthology for the ages with Twisted Anatomy. Any horror fan, body, or otherwise will find something to enjoy.I’m not always good with body horror. It’s one of those genres I have to take on a case-by-case basis. I can watch Teeth and The Thing just fine, but if someone threatens to turn on The Fly (1986), I’m leaving the room. Maybe the house. Even if I live there. There’s just something about losing control of one’s body that is terrifying. The idea...
Disclaimer: I'm one of the contributors in this anthology.Wow. I just read this book cover-to-cover and, yep, this is definitely a body horror anthology. The stories - there are 30 in total - range from the humorous to the horrifying.There's a little bit of everything in there. Blood and gore and guts and eyes and tentacles and teeth.So many, many teeth.If that sounds like your cup of tea - there are several cups of tea in there as well - you won't be disappointed.Horrified? Definitely.Amused? P...
What is it about an incredibly satisfying short story collection? Each story was better than the last and had me wanting more and more. I could have read any of these stories as a novel: these authors understood the assignment and they delivered.Body horror in all its glory - silly stories (vagina monsters, anyone?), funny stories, super serious ones (don’t google Morgellon’s syndrome), gory ones….The thing I like about horror in general is that it can be a commentary on life and this collection...
Thirty stories dedicated to violations of the human body, including works by Red Lagoe, Tabatha Wood, Madeleine Swann, Laurel Hightower, Sara Tantlinger, and a whole lot more.(WARNING: This review contains minor spoilers.)Twisted Anatomy comes from the Sci-Fi & Scary review site, consisting of thirty stories brimming with ick and ew. If the human body already disgusts you, just wait until you delve into what these authors have to offer with their copious amounts of gore and body horror. I’d cons...
I’m excited to see which stories everyone loves!
We are all excited about this and can't wait to share it with everyone!
3.5Review to come
I want to preface this review...I’m not a huge fan of body horror in film. It’s not that I hate it or that I don’t watch...just not my favorite thing. I’ve never read a ton of body horror either. This was my first compilation of this type. Unexpectedly, I loved all of it! I was completely grossed out, which I expected. What I didn’t expect was to find such a nuanced and, dare I say lovely, bit of storytelling.Here are some of my highlights:I loved Teeth by Tabatha Wood. Teeth bother me. Just the...
