In Her Body and Other Parties, Carmen Maria Machado blithely demolishes the arbitrary borders between psychological realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism. While her work has earned her comparisons to Karen Russell and Kelly Link, she has a voice that is all her own. In this electric and provocative debut, Machado bends genre to shape startling narratives that map the realities of women's lives and the violence visited upon their bodies.
A wife refuses her husband's entreaties to remove the green ribbon from around her neck. A woman recounts her sexual encounters as a plague slowly consumes humanity. A salesclerk in a mall makes a horrifying discovery within the seams of the store's prom dresses. One woman's surgery-induced weight loss results in an unwanted houseguest. And in the bravura novella Especially Heinous, Machado reimagines every episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, a show we naïvely assumed had shown it all, generating a phantasmagoric police procedural full of doppelgängers, ghosts, and girls with bells for eyes.

Featured Article: The top 100 horror books of all time
This list encompasses the full spectrum of what horror can be—campfire-worthy tales, stomach-churning gore, and incisive social commentary. The classics are accounted for, but it also spotlights more recent titles, because that’s the nature of the genre—it is as perennial as it is ever-evolving, conjuring whatever frights most haunt our collective consciousness. Each title does have one thing in common: It makes for devilishly good listening. So cut the lights and press play—if you dare.

From a narration standpoint, the stories all run together. The new chapters are never signified so it can be really confusing. The woman’s voice was also a bit dry.

Otherwise I enjoyed this book. Kind of weird. In a good way.
I recommend looking up the titles of all the stories in this book so you can listen for the title of the next one, thereby getting some small indication that you're moving to the next story in the collection.
Desperately needs pauses between stories.

I also rly disliked the narration bc my number one audiobook pet peeve is when readers have one single voice (identical pitch/inflection/pacing) for every character belonging to the opposite sex. If u want my advice that nobody asked for it would be : DONT change ur pitch if ur gonna sacrifice a sense of distinct character!!! Ok ....that's all
have my 2 cents
