  • Summary

  • Content warning: discussions of decay and decomposition, misogyny, depression, anxiety, dysmorphia, physical and sexual abuse, masturbation, and death/dying.

    On this episode of The Beauty of Horror, Chandler talks with co-host of I Spit on Your Podcast, horror writer, and one half of The Spinsters of Horror, Kelly Grender about the sickening beauty of Éric Falardeau's THANATOMORPHOSE (2012)!

    They talk about Kelly’s start in podcasting, the increasing appeal of extreme horror and how it challenges you, expressing female rage, sexuality, liberation through decay, decomposition as a metaphor for depression, abjection, cinéma vomitif, and, of course, aesthetics.
