This was a fantastic collection of social horror stories. Each story focuses on a specific body part, and it does an amazing job of showing us how horrible things can get when we become obsessive on trying to achieve perfection. I loved each story but my favourite one was Blood, which is about a man who has a very creepy thing for knees.

Highly recommend checking this one out! ( )

These stories aren't exactly body horror, but each odd little tale involves a character's fixation with an aspect of her or her own body, or that of someone else. A housewife finds herself pulled into her young daughter's plastic surgery fantasy. A repressed salary-man finds release via strangers on public transport. A man tries an experimental cure for hair loss and experiences an unfortunate side effect. A high school girl becomes obsessed with losing weight after a dorm-mate makes a casual comment about the size of her ass. And a victimized and rage-filled boy learns to fight after an encounter with a shadowy man on the street. Slice-of-life stories with a touch of the uncanny. ( )
