| 1 | 9 Months Trilogy | 2012 | Matt Shaw | Buy |
The 9 Months Trilogy brings Matt Shaw’s extreme sensibility to the subject of pregnancy, a premise that the author uses to explore fear, bodily vulnerability, and the horror lurking beneath domestic life. Published in 2012 as a single collected volume, it represents one of his earlier forays into using an intimate human experience as the setting for something deeply unsettling.
Shaw has always been drawn to scenarios that take something familiar and twist it into something threatening. Pregnancy, with its mix of hope, physical transformation, and anxiety, offers fertile ground for the kind of psychological and physical horror he specializes in. The result is a work that will disturb readers comfortable with extreme content and leave a lasting impression.
