Her Body and Other Parties is so good. I was blown away by the story that reinvents the classic green ribbon story, which was a favorite of mine as a kid.
Excited to hear you write body horror! I'll be checking that out.
One of my favourite genres within horror. A lot of my own stuff is body horror. There's a special kind of body horror of being a woman, and all the ways our bodies can change and sometimes not even be something we're in charge of.... That is the most horrifying.
I think there's a stong crossover with eco horror too.
Here's some reading recs-
Salt Slow by Julia Armfield
The Dolls Alphabet by Camila Grudova
Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado
And my books, especially my short horror collection Dark Is The Water.
Great list. I would add Cronenberg's adaptation of Naked Lunch to the list of movies, and the films of his son Brandon Cronenberg. I saw Possessor last weekend and the themes of body horror and dislocation from reality are there. David's influence in his work is evident.
I've yet to see Brandon's movies, but I always hear good things. And now Caitlin Cronenberg is coming out with a horror movie, too. It's quite the family.

That is quite the news. I'll be looking for her films.
Antiviral and Possessor are both on Tubi right now if you have time to check them out. Provocative takes on celebrity and corporate intrigue.
