Her Body and Other Parties
Carmen Maria Machado · 2017
Stories that fuse horror, fairy tale, and desire. The inventory of a lover's wardrobe. A plague spread by sexual contact. Genre-defying brilliance.
The case against
'Especially Heinous,' a novella rewriting twelve seasons of Law & Order: SVU episode by episode, runs sixty-odd pages and divides every reader who gets there: formal daring or endurance test, pick one. Around it the collection runs uneven, and the recurring moves (inventories, dread, women's bodies under audit) begin to feel like moves.
