Monstrosity
Book description
Dear reader,
When we were children, we dreamed of being heroes. We wanted to slay dragons and defeat the monsters that scared us.
As we grew older, we were forced to try and find our monsters. We had been told they would be easy to spot. Monsters had too much…
Why read it?
1 author picked Monstrosity as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I listened to the audiobook of this anthology and man! I could not tell you how beautiful and horrifying this one is.
For those of us who love some horror alongside our fantasy, this one takes the kickers. I love the throughline of each story. There is something to be said for when the line between the technolyzed body and the real body comes into conflict.
I love that there was magical realism in some of the stories, but it was crouched within the human psyche, for where does magic live if not in our heart and soul.
From Lyra's list on fantasy books where magic and mayhem frolic with robots and mechanisms.
