A powerful follow-up to the Governor General's Literary Award shortlisted sulphurtongue.

antibody is a protest, a whisper network, a reclamation of agency, and a ritual for building a survivable world.

antibody mobilizes body horror as resistance, refusing to sanitize the atrocities of sexual violence or to silence its survivors. Challenging myths of "perfect" victimhood, this collection honours the messy, rageful, queer, witchy, disabled, and kinky grief work of enduring trauma and learning to want to live.

if we must be unnatural
unliving monstrous
let us feed.
