The Flesh Betrays: A Definitive Guide to Body Horror Fiction - David Somerfleck | Science Fiction Author

A definitive guide to body horror fiction — its philosophical origins in Frankenstein and Kafka, its four distinct creative approaches (psychological, erotic, feminist, political), five essential texts from The Metamorphosis to Tender Is the Flesh, its social critique dimensions from gender to capitalism to race, and six craft principles for writers entering the tradition. When the body is the monster, nothing is safe.
