The Snail's Spell by Joanne Ryder

4.0

"Imagine/ you are soft/and have no bones/inside you."

This book, but subtract the (subpar, anyway) illustrations, re-released with the words in plain block letters white on a black background, would be a bloody masterpiece in postmodern body horror. It's... unintentionally visceral and really quite chilling.
