For fans of horror who have considered what would it be like if we too could shed our old skins and become something entirely new, I have a book for you! Metamorphosis by Claire Fitzpatrick is a collection of seventeen tales of horror that cover a wide range of genres varying from science fiction, to the paranormal, to suspense, but with each story you will be immersed in the horror of it all. There are many images created in these short stories that will twist your stomach but all the while you will be fascinated to see where the story is leading you. Each story is creatively written and flows at a pace that is just right to keep the reader engaged but not overrun or overstimulated. If you are looking for some short stories to add to your horror collection then Metamorphosis is the book I would recommend to you.
Included within this anthology are the following stories in order of reading: Madeline, Eat, Mechanical Garden, Jacaranda House, Transplant, The Eagle, Scarab, Senses, The Dog, The Town Hall, Metamorphosis, Happy Birthday – Ebony, Synthetic, Andromeda, The Perfect Son, Thorne House and Deep-Sea Fishing.
This review is based on a complimentary book I received from Author, Claire Fitzpatrick. It is an honest and voluntary review. The complimentary receipt of it in no way affected my review or rating.
Stories contained within this book are: Madeline, Eat, Mechanical Garden, Jacaranda House, Transplant, The Eagle, Scarab, Senses, The Dog, The Town Hall, Metamorphosis, Happy Birthday - Ebony, Synthetic, Andromeda, The Perfect Son, Thorne House and Deep-Sea Fishing.
From the back cover: This short story collection includes 17 tales of terror. Madeline will never become a woman. William will never become a man. Does June deserve to be human? Does Lilith deserve a heart? If imperfection is crucial to a society’s survival, what makes a monster?
About the author: Claire Fitzpatrick is an author of speculative fiction and non-fiction. She won the 2017 Rocky Wood Award for Non-Fiction and Criticism. Called 'Australia's Queen of Body Horror' and 'Australia's Body Horror Specialist', she enjoys writing about anatomy and the darker sides of humanity.
Although the book evoked strong feelings, which I personally find to be one of the signs that a book is good, I think that being caused discomfort is not the same as reading a piece of enjoyable writing. While the author excels in what I assume she set out to do, it was just not for me.
A final observation is that the type of horror is quite repetitive in its style. Sometimes the horror outshines the stories, as if the in-depth descriptions are more in focus than the coherence or necessity of the stories written.
