Carmen Maria Machado’s critically acclaimed collection of short stories, Her Body and Other Parties, is set to be adapted for television, with Imagine Television (Empire, Parenthood) developing a Black Mirror style anthology TV series.

Machado's book of feminist, queer horror stories was released last year and saw the author nominated for a National Book Award.

According to Vulture, Samie Kim Falvey, the president of Imagine Television, has predicted the series will "be a force in the conversation about gender."

She continued, saying Machado’s stories “capture the intense, unspoken psychology of inhabiting a woman’s body today.”

Writer-producer Gina Welch (Feud, The Terror) is believed to be attached to the project.
