Midnight Pals: Body Horror

David Cronenberg: body horror is the art of possibility. the body is the canvas. to change the body is to change reality, to unmake & remake the world. Junji Ito: what if your head was a balloon lol

Junji Ito: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the fashion model Junji Ito: so this film crew hires an actress with a really striking look Poe: what's the look? Ito: oh she's like an obvious monster Ito: like 100% she's definitely a monster

Ito: anyway everyone is all "wow what a striking look" Barker: you know Barker: there's a problem with all these monster women you draw Ito: what? Barker: you're not horny enough

Ito: they're not supposed to be horny Barker: no i mean YOU are not horny Ito: Poe: clive leave him alone Barker: hey i'm not throwing shade Poe: no it really sounds like you are

Ito: how can you say that? Ito: look at these  bishōjo heroines! Barker: don't get me wrong, junji Barker: you got some real cute little straight couples in your comics Barker: but they should fuck

Barker: is the problem that this body horror is too straight Barker: is that it? Ito: what Barker: i mean more power to you Barker: i think it's great what you're doing Ito: Barker: you know despite your handicap Ito: Barker: of being straight

Barker: it's just so cool how you're showing that straight people can do body horror too Ito: Barker: real inspiring! Ito: Poe: that's enough clive Barker: no shut up edgar i'm having fun

Barker: i'm just saying its unusual to see a cishet in this field Barker: i mean Barker: anyone here who's written body horror that is NOT some kinda trans allegory, raise your hand Eve Harms: Lor Gislason: Franz Kafka: [raises hand] Barker: uh uh uh uh franz Barker: not so fast!

Inside Out by Lor Gislason

goodreads

INSIDE OUT is an over-the-top tribute to the goopy, grimy and gross horror of the 1980s. After a mysterious infection spreads through the world, people and animals start melting into horrific monsters. This wild debut novella follows everyday people dealing with the new chaotic reality, from school children to scummy landlords to mad scientists. Featuring illustrations from horror artists such as Enuch Duncan, Matt Pierce, and SJ Miller, with cover art by Eduardo Valdés-Hevia. Barf bag not included.

Mod opinion: This is a very short novella about turning into and/or being devoured by goop. I especially liked the short story with the trans girl protagonist. I devoured it (like the goop) in a day :)

Open for Submissions: PMMP Anthology of Trans Body Horror

Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing (PMMP) is seeking submissions for an upcoming anthology, Bound in Flesh: An Anthology of Trans Body Horror. The following is a message from the editor:

Hello, my name is Lor Gislason (they/them) and I will be the editor of Bound in Flesh. Body horror has been a part of my life for many years, in one way or another; From cartoons that stretch and twist characters, to personal favourites like Hellraiser and Possessor that push the human form beyond what is imaginable. While being uncomfortable with your body is not the case for all trans and NB folks, it is very common–hence why I think the genre draws so many of us to it. The cathartic nature of horror is the connective tissue that brings us together. I want to give other trans and NB authors the chance to showcase their work in a genre that so often is cis-centric, to tell their own stories and reaffirm that trans writers belong in horror.

Trans and nonbinary writers only. New writers encouraged to submit.

Submit up to two original stories, 3,000–5,000 words in length. SimuSubs OK. Pays $0.05 per word.

Submissions are open through July 31.
