These stories slip and slide between genres--from video games to fan fiction, body horror to choose-your-own-adventure--as characters cycle through giddying changes in gender, physiology, species, and identity. Collapsing boundaries between bodies and forms, these fictions interrogate the visceral, gross, and absurd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book is fucking weird,\" wrote Brit Mandelo in 2015.
