This morning, I have been poking around the internet, looking for recommendations of body horror. This is difficult, because I am picky and also because it is difficult for me to describe what I want. Or, well, what I want is something that will make me feel the way I did when I first watched Videodrome, and that's difficult to articulate properly. Probably, I should just watch Videodrome again.

Looking for body horror is also difficult because the internet is all "What you want is Clive Barker" and, y'know, I keep trying to read Clive Barker because yes, I liked Hellraiser and when his books are described to me, I like the ideas in them, but man, I just don't like Clive Barker stories. Or, more likely, his characters. I have never finished a single book by Clive Barker. It keeps me up nights, truly, because I want to like Clive Barker (and Ramsey Campbell, whom I have similar problems with) and I just can't.

Alas.

Also. The looking-for-body-horror thing has apparently sparked my periodic obsessive desire to read horror scholarship. This time, instead of going my normal route of putting in ILL requests and then never finishing the books because I run out of time, I have purchased things from amazon. So that's exciting.

Anyone have any recommendations of body horror that isn't Clive Barker?
