Description
Step right up to the modern freakshow — We have mermaids, monsters, and more. You won't be disappointed, but you may not get out alive.
UnCommon Bodies presents a collection of 20 beautifully irreverent stories which blend the surreal and the mundane. Together, the authors explore the lives of the odd, the unbelievable, and the impossible. Imagine a world where magic exists, where the physical form has the power to heal or repulse, where a deal with the devil means losing so much more than your soul.

Kathleen D, Reviewer
Bizarre collection with weird emotions and situations, a wonderfully varied group of writers. My personal favorites are Daedalus' Daughter about Isha who sprouts wings after her father dies, In Her Image, "There was no abstract art here. Just a madman's doodle." about a student on a search to understand just what a crippled painter claims to have 'depicted'. Lastly, The Well Rounded Head because of the strange reasons we may love someone.
Every story stands on it's own, some were just like gum caught up in my brain for days. This is a collection for people who want to read something outside the everyday so called 'norm'. It's terrible, funny, weird- a meaty bone to gnaw on to appease your wicked hidden side. Enjoyed it!
