About

Most of us don’t know a time before the groundbreaking Roe vs. Wade decision, but we may soon be living in a post-Roe world. As rumor spreads that SCOTUS will be overturning the 1973 case in favor of returning the “right to choose” back to the states, uterus owners and their allies are faced with the horror of life-threatening repercussions. Nico Bell, author of BEYOND THE CREEK, and Roxie Voorhees, co-editor of READER BEWARE, had the idea for this anthology of body autonomy horror as a way to utilize their voices in the fight for reproductive rights. Please note that while the inspiration for this anthology comes from the SCOTUS rumor, we are seeking a wide range of body autonomy-themed stories.
