I’ve just watched the film “The Substance” and now would like to find a body horror book that centers on the female experience with a woman main character. I’ve read “Natural Beauty” and “Youthjuice” and enjoyed both. by theCuntessVonCunt Related: Literaturre from Ireland/U.K. Books where unsettling/new/unexpected customs and tribal groups emerge Classics/contemporary fiction from the German speaking region Books with a ocean setting (beach town, elements of surfing/free diving/ whales would be cool! ) A book that will blow my mind
