“ This Is My Body is simply one of the finest works of familial horror I have ever encountered.
This book is hideously satisfying.”—Sarah Gailey author of Just Like Home A gripping
emotional and darkly funny queer horror novel about family trauma and possession for fans of
Rachel Harrison and Catriona Ward. Gay single mom Brigid always thought that cutting ties
with her extremist Catholic family was the best thing she could have done for her daughter
Dylan—and for herself. But when Dylan starts having terrifying fits of unnatural violence
Brigid can’t shake her memories of a girl from her childhood who behaved the same way . . .
until Brigid’s uncle Father Angus performed an exorcism. Convinced that her daughter is
suffering from demonic possession Brigid does the thing she told herself she’d never do: she
goes home. Father Angus is the worst person she knows but he’s also the only person who can
help her daughter. But as Brigid starts to uncover secrets about Father Angus that long-ago
exorcism and her family’s past she realizes that she and Dylan have never been in more
danger. This Is My Body is a piercing journey into religious trauma and childhood shame
building towards a heart-pounding twisty climax that will spin your head all the way around.
