Eighteen unsettling narratives map the female experience from puberty to menopause.

 

I Spit Myself Out is a collection of female-voiced stories exploring the terror that lurks beneath the surface of the skin.

 

In this collection, an Anatomical Venus opens to display her organs, clients of a mysterious clinic disappear one by one, a police investigation reveals family secrets, revenge is inked in the skin, and bodies pulsate in the throes of illness, childbirth and religious ritual.

 

Disturbing and provoking in equal turns, I Spit Myself Out reinvents the body as a breeding ground of terrors that resurface inexorably in the present.
