A centaur seeks illicit surgery in an alien bodily modification club. Two medieval monks react to their transformation and demonic pregnancy in very different ways. A resourceful trans teen destroys sports bigots through the power of pluckiness...and abundant body horror. A stellar cathedral crosses galaxies to dump the corpse of God into a star before the mission devolves into a panoply of psychedelic orgies. A doxxed teen falls victim to violent assault and dishes out some harrowing retribution of their own. Over thirty Trans and Gender Nonconforming creators unite to voice their rage, and the rules of conventional Horror go out the f$%&ing window in this collection featuring murderous pleasure-bots; proselytizing zombies; acid-filled alien cops; science run amok; sorcerers, ghouls, cannibals...and that barely scratches the grave-dirt.

a very very interesting (and grotesque) anthology. incredibly enlightening to read some of these stories and better understand the struggles and dysmorphia trans and gender nonconforming persons may have with their bodies (and that society is shitty, but this i knew already). as is the nature of anthologies, some pieces absolutely hit it out of the park; others were way too abstract for my liking. i definitely didn’t catch/understand all the allegory and metaphors but this was a good (although horrific) experience.
