Winner of the 2017 Rocky Wood award for Non- Fiction and Criticism. Drawing from horror visionaries such as Clive Barker, David Cronenberg, and Mark Powell, including introspective analysis of films such as 'Tusk,' 'The Fly,' 'Hellraiser,' and 'Eat,' The Body Horror Book is a non-fiction exploration of the monstrous aspect of the human form. By exploring the literary trope of the carnival and the grotesque, and how the state of cultural and political affairs dictate the monsters created within fiction and film, The body Horror Book is designed to educate, terrify, intrigue, and beguile, if you dare to enter the rabbit hole.... "Insightful and downright entertaining, e Body Horror Book pierces the tenuous membrane between fiction and reality, exposing the fears we all have in common ... the horrors inflicted on the human body." - Bob Pastorella, reviewer at www.thisishorror.co.uk "If you only have time to read one book... make sure it's this book." - Brendon Meynell, President. Australasian Horror Writers Association Inc. "Fascinating and accessible, the Body Horror Book is a strikingly diverse exploration of horror that is interested not simply in getting under your skin, but also in finding out just what you've got hiding under there." - William Tea, Ginger Nuts Of Horror '...a solid and thought-provoking production.' - Tabula Rassa Mag.
