Mother Horror presents:
Los Angeles fashion model Helen Troy wasn't always skinny. Drastic weight loss has given her everything-money, confidence, attention, respect. Being thin has legitimized her, and starvation has become an addiction.
Following an encounter with a seemingly "perfect" rival model who destabilizes Helen's shaky self-confidence and shatters her fragile illusion of control, she's sent into a tragic tailspin that will take her to the lowest depths of hell. Nightmarish versions of herself begin materializing in mirrors, and her tried-and-true coping mechanisms stop working. Reality comes apart at the seams as Helen's disease manifests in increasingly self-destructive fashions, forcing her to ask herself...
What does perfection look like, and how much would you sacrifice to obtain it?
Don't read with the lights on...this is My Dark Library.
A collection of novellas curated by Sadie "Mother Horror" Hartmann to represent her favorite themes, tropes, and subgenres in horror fiction today.
"No blurb will be able to fully convey how great this book is. Chandler Morrison's voice is unique, stylish and powerful. Required reading for fans of Brett Easton Ellis, Tom Piccirilli or Chuck Palahniuk."
- Brian Keene, Author of Ghoul
"#thighgap is a story of abyssal redemption. A frozen palace of beautiful and broken people. It's brutal and tragically sexy and doesn't shy away from any of its dark interiors."
- Autumn Christian, Author of Girl Like a Bomb
