What makes us recoil – and why are we drawn to it? Hear from Annie Zhang, Danielle Frost, Areebah Armani, and Carielyn Tunion as they examine the power of disgust as an emotional response and its role in shaping unforgettable narratives. From decay and transformation to the monstrous and grotesque, this discussion delves into how confronting the abject in literature allows readers to explore fear, fascination, and the fragile edges of humanity.
