Full of heart and blood, this impressive, wildly imaginative collection heralds the arrival of a compelling new voice in speculative fiction. --Gabino Iglesias, The New York Times

This is weird girl fiction at its finest. --Lucy Rose

Compassionate, gross, deeply compelling. A must-read. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Striking, visceral, and brutally honest, Rose Keating's Oddbody is a captivating short story collection that delves into the weirdness of bodies and of existence itself through the voices of social outsiders and outcasts.

In her debut collection, Rose Keating takes you on a bold journey through the intricacies of sex, shame, and womanhood. With ten enchanting short stories, she crafts an emotional masterpiece that challenges us to reflect on the movement and needs of our bodies. Strange yet utterly mesmerizing, Oddbody is a provocative exploration that feels both surprising and sincerely authentic.

In Oddbody, a woman finds herself navigating a codependent relationship with a ghost, while Squirm portrays a daughter tending to her father as he devours himself from the inside out. Pineapple introduces us to a woman who opts to have feather wings surgically attached to her back. In Eggshells, a waitress gives birth to an egg during her breakfast shift. Each narrative in this collection is immersive, bizarre, and deeply empathetic, shining a light on women who dare to defy societal norms and invite you to question the conventions and milestones that determine success.
