Queer Reads - YOUR BODY IS NOT YOUR BODY

  • Lost City Books 2467 18th Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20009 United States (map)

Queer Reads will be meeting on Wednesday, October 9th at 7 pm. We’re reading Your Body is Not Your Body, edited by Alex Woodroe and Matt Blairstone.

About the book:

Shirley Jackson Award Nominee: Best Anthology, Best Short Fiction, 2022

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.
