I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I have also cross posted this review to my Goodreads account.


Body horror is one of my favorite subgenres of horror and I'm trans. So, when I saw " Bound in the flesh: An Anthology of Trans Body Horror" I knew I'd love it. 

The stories in the book kept me up reading until nearly dawn (until I finished the book). Every story in this book is great. Although, I can't hear the word worm anymore without having a visceral reaction. How do calloused gums look anyway? 


I absolutely loved this disgusting book! I'm so excited to read even more queer horror.
