As indicated by the title, <i>B&#248;dy </i>is a collection of horror stories, all thematically linked to people's perception of their bodies, and the consequences of vanity and low self-esteem. In the vein of the psychological suspense of the Twilight Zone, each story ends with a shock, leaving the reader unsettled with the old adage, &quot;Be careful what you wish for,&quot; echoing in their bones. <br><br>Appropriately, each of the five stories in <i>B&#248;dy </i>gets its title from the body parts featured, buttocks, blood, face, hair and chin.
