The short stories that comprise Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body and Other Parties, a 2017 National Book Award finalist, are rife with surreal horror and speculative fiction shot through with sharply feminist appraisals. One of her best, “Especially Heinous,” is made up of several seasons’ worth of faux Law & Order: SVU loglines that tell a disturbing yet darkly funny story about how society creates spectacles out of sexual violence.
