Under the Skin is a novel by Michel Faber that blends elements of horror and science fiction. The story follows Isserley, a woman who travels the roads of Scotland in search of hitchhikers. However, Isserley is not a common sexual predator; her body is full of scars and her desire is an enigma. As the plot progresses, the reader discovers that Isserley is the gateway to a terrifying universe, where power hierarchies and the commodification of society are explored. The novel has been praised for its controlled prose and its ability to disturb and unsettle the reader.
