The Fear Score take

Saccharine works under the skin like a slow toxin, marrying body horror to the quiet ache of grief. Natalie Erika James builds dread from appetite and self-loathing, letting each frame curdle. What haunts here is not a jump but a hunger — the sickening sense that you are consuming, and being consumed, in turn.

• —Body horror rooted in appetite and shame
• —Slow-burn dread that curdles under skin
• —Grief made physical and unbearable

Content: Body Horror, Depictions Of Disordered Eating, Supernatural Threat, Psychological Distress
