Femgore | Reclaiming Women's Body's in Horror

Feeding the Monster by Anna Bogat Skaya, which is all about why horror has holden us with a particular focus on contemporary horror, why the genre is so popular and what it says about us. It's a fascinating read if you've ever doubted the value of horror.

A recent release that I just read was Kill Creatures by Rory Power which while I don't think is like full femore like it's not the most explicit book in the world I do think sort of like toes that line specifically within the young adult genre.

I would highly encourage you to read the new age of sexism by Laura Bates which does do a deeper dive into this topic in an accessible way but which is obviously incredibly like gut-wrenching but important.

The short stories of Mariana Enriquez are like a melding of genres or short stories. So, while not all of the stories are femore, some are more like ghost stories and haunting stories, I do think some of them fall into this category. And just generally, I love Marian Enriquez's writing style.

In terms of novels, you might want to try The Eyes Are the Best Part by Monica Kim, which is specifically about the way in which Asian women are fetishized. and how that seeps into a growing desire to eat, specifically eyeballs.

Lady upstairs is another historical novel about a maid who becomes a ladies maid so she is promoted but from the very beginning of the novel you see how she is essentially disgusted by the world around her.

So, while not all of the stories are femore, some are more like ghost stories and haunting stories, I do think some of them fall into this category. And just generally, I love Marian Enriquez's writing style. So, this is Things We Lost in the Fire and the Dangers of Smoking in Bed.

I think of like books like Victorian Psycho where we see like various different murders committed including infanticide which are entirely unjustifiable but you are compelled to continue to read about. as the novel goes on it becomes increasingly violent.
