Saskia Nislow’s Root Rot and Trang Thanh Tran’s They Bloom at Night are examples of trans ecohorror, a subgenre of trans horror fiction with a focus on the permeability of boundaries and relationality between humans and nature. Through the concepts of trans-corporeality and becoming-animal, I read Nislow’s and Tran’s instances of trans becoming as ecological variations on the trans “wrong body” narrative and a refocusing on “natural” transformations as healing and communal.
