Meet Margot. She's got it all: a loving boyfriend, a roof over her head, her health, a career. But increasingly, she feels like she's had enough. Enough of the daily grind, enough of corporate life, but most especially, enough of her own self. Whilst Margo's relationship with her own body has always been painful, she has grown to truly hate her own form, spending hours of each day scrutinising and maintaining her appearance and finding herself lacking. Until suddenly, things start to change. Margot feels distinctly different. Her body and behaviour evolve, as does her mindset. Dysmorphia takes on new meaning. And then, in the space of one terrible night, she crosses a threshold she can never return from... This newest short story from Bram Stoker and British Fantasy Award nominated author Gemma Amor is Ginger Snaps for the perimenopausal, a middle-aged werewolf tale with a difference. Oh, and there's a fox, too.
