A review by shereadytoread
Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado

challenging dark reflective tense

5.0

This book is not an easy read, but this a truly genre-defying anthology. Most of the stories do have a darker, horror element to them, but they run many other genres as well. The stories were really interesting and tense. They revolve in some ways about the bodies of women, but present that theme in very different ways.

These are written in experimental ways, they include a very unique writing style, which in my opinion can be off-putting to some, but I think it fits well with the overall theme.
