Read Harder Challenge Task 9: Read an independently published book by a BIPOC author.
I read 'Her Body and Other Parties: Stories' by Carmen Maria Machado.

[She]..blithely demolishes the arbitrary borders between psychological realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism.

A collection of short stories, I found it
weird, provocative and interesting!
