Her Body And Other Parties (Hardback)

'Brilliantly inventive and blazingly smart' - Garth Greenwell

'Impossible, imperfect, unforgettable' - Roxane Gay

'A wild thing ... covered in sequins and scales, blazing with the influence of fabulists from Angela Carter to Kelly Link and Helen Oyeyemi' - The New York Times

'A writer of rare daring ... there's a ragged glory to [the stories'] formal experimentation and erotic fearlessness, and the gusto with which they reinvent horror, SF and fairytale tropes.' - Guardian 

'Brilliant and unsettling ... Machado ranks alongside Shirley Jackson and Margaret Atwood' - Independent 

'Daring ... Machado has created a provocative blend of fabulism, feminism, magic realism and lashings of sex.' - Tatler 

'Machado's work is visceral: tender, harrowing and sensual, it crawls right under the skin of your imagination.' - SFX 

'A provocative and powerful collection' - Stylist 

'Part punk rock and part classical, with stories that are raw and devastating but also exquisitely plotted and full of delight. This is a strong, dangerous, and blisteringly honest book-it's hard to think of it as a 'debut,' it's that good' - Jeff Vandermeer

'Caustic and comic ... Machado's talent and imagination are visceral and voracious' - Red 

'An intimate, unrelenting style that grabs you by the throat and sinks its perfectly-polished nails in' - Harper's Bazaar 

'Ms. Machado's stories are frank, sensual ... deliver high-voltage shocks to the system. The others show how difficult it is to outpace the status quo' - Wall Street Journal 

'Machado's stories inspire horror as well as sympathy' - Washington Post 

'...twistedly original and thrilling' - Chicago Tribune 

'Deliciously weird and dark and erotic and queer and smart and full of desire, and profoundly original, this is about the alienation of being a woman in a way you've never read before.' - The Pool
