THESE BODIES AIN’T BROKEN
Page Street
“Thy Creature”: A gender-bent remix of Frankenstein, in which you wake to find yourself brought back to life by your pre-med/engineer major boyfriend, but your body, seemingly yours and not yours all at once, is disabled. As you learn to navigate your new normal, memories of the night of your accident—and the truth behind your death—lead you down a dangerous path, one in which you must question everything… and trust no one.
Outsmarting deadly video games, hunting the predatory monster in the woods, rooting out evil within their community, finding love and revenge with their newly turned vampire friend―this anthology upends expectations of the roles disabled people can play in horror. With visibly and invisibly disabled characters whose illnesses include Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, PTSD, and more, each entry also includes a short essay from the author about the conditions portrayed in their stories to further contextualize their characters’ perspectives. From breaking ancient curses to defying death itself, these 13 horror stories cast disabled characters as heroes we can all root for.
Contributors include bestselling and award-winning as well as emerging authors: Dana Mele, Lillie Lainoff, Anandi, Soumi Roy, Fin Leary, S.E. Anderson, K. Ancrum, Pintip Dunn, Lily Meade, Mo Netz, P.H. Low, and Carly Nugent.
