These Bodies Ain’t Broken

This groundbreaking horror anthology showcases disabled teens fighting monsters, breaking curses, and surviving against all odds. A monstrous transformation within your own body. A sacrificial imprisonment. A fight to the death against an ancient evil. These stories showcase disabled characters winning against all odds. Outsmarting deadly video games, hunting the predatory monster in the woods, rooting out evil within their community, finding love and revenge with their newly turned vampire friend—this anthology upends expectations of the roles disabled people can play in horror. With visibly and invisibly disabled characters whose illnesses include Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, PTSD, and more, each entry also includes a short essay from the author about the conditions portrayed in their stories to further contextualize their characters’ perspectives. From breaking ancient curses to defying death itself, these 13 horror stories cast disabled characters as heroes we can all root for.Author: Madeline Dyer,author Contributors: Madeline Dyer,author Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 7 Oct 2025 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Page Street Publishing Co.
