Review:

"The stories offer icky pleasure for those fascinated with a subgenre concerned with the body turning against itself. Some are funny and disgusting (Richard Matheson's nuclear fallout nightmare "'Tis The Season To Be Jelly!",  Barbie Wilde's bowel-with-a-brain-of-its-own yuk-fest "Polyp")..." -SFX Magazine

"It's surprising that a history of body horror in literature hasn't been done before now--so thanks to Marie O' Regan and Paul Kane for this treasure trove of stories--ranging from some classics in the genre, 'The Tell-Tale Heart', 'Survivor Type' and 'The Body Politic' to some stories that will almost certainly become classics of their time--the absurdist, very entertaining shocker 'Polyp' to the brilliantly executed 'Sticky Eye'--one of my favourite new stories in this anthology." -Johnny Mains
