The Wild Horror of the Body

There’s a lot of body horror in my work, and that’s because… there’s a lot of body horror in my life. Messy bodies, broken bodies, gooey bodies, malfunctioning bodies, crazy bodies. I’m fascinated at how fragile it all is, how many things can and do go wrong, and how it’s a miracle that any of us is functioning at all at any time. Every since my body started trying to eat itself 20 years ago, I’ve

Kameron’s Quotes

“I: You’re a communist then. S: Let’s say I’m old enough not to be dazzled by Ayn Rand.”
― Kameron Hurley, The Light Brigade

“When I’m old and dying, wheezing my guts out, my organs failing, I want to walk out the front door of some old farmhouse on my own land, maybe forty, fifty hectares of it. I want to find a cool place in the woods under some old oak tree and settle down there and die as the sun comes up. I want a death rattle, a final breath, a body intact that can then be torn apart by scavengers, riddled with worms, my limbs dragged off to feed some family of little foxes, my guts teeming with maggots, until I am nothing but a gooey collection of juices that feeds the fungi and the oak seedlings and the wild grasses. I want my bleached bones scatted across my own land, broken and sucked clean of marrow, half buried in snow and finally, finally, covered over in loam and ground to dust by the passage of time, until I am broken into fragments, the pieces of my body returned to where they came. I could give back something to this world instead of taking, taking, taking. That’s the death I want.”
― Kameron Hurley, The Light Brigade
