I don’t know much about the book Her Body and Other Parties, but it has a killer title, right? And let’s hope the rest of the book holds up to said title as today we have word via Deadline that FX is developing the book into a series.
The new show will be a horror anthology series based on Carmen Maria Machado’s lauded short story collection. Her Body and Other Parties, published in October 2017 by Gray Wolf Press, was awarded the Shirley Jackson Award.
The project comes from Imagine Television and FX Productions and writer Gina Welch, who has worked on such series as Feud: Bette and Joan, The Terror, and Castle Rock. Welch executive produces with Brian Grazer, Francie Calfo, and Samie Falvey. Machado will serve as producer.
Synopsis:
Written by Welch, Her Body is an anthological series staging psychologically vivid tales of women’s fears and desires on landscapes of horror, fabulism, and wild-haired absurdity. It’s described as a feminist Black Mirror with fairy tale themes, its hours threaded together with a recurring ensemble of female characters.
