Ah animorphs.
spoiler
Five children are forced to engage in guerilla warfare, espionage
and repeated murder to protect their loved ones from alien parasites as
they wait for the other, heroic aliens to finally arrive. When they do,
the -good- aliens turn out to not give a shit about humans, caused the
whole intergalactic war through their own shittiness and are willing to
exterminate whole planets themselves to get at their hated enemies.
A child repeatedly experiences his intestines hanging out of his body while in various animal formsA child is mentally tortured until broken and never gets betterA
child in the form of a fly experiences getting splattered and smeared
against a ceiling until his friends who are also flies at the time can
peel his body off and take him somewhere he can transform back into a
whole human before his insect mind fades completelyA child is
shrunken and experiences having her eyeballs digested out of her head
inside her friend-s stomach while she-s in the form of a tiny elephantThe
heroes are forced to permanently imprison another child in the body of a
rat because he knows too much and they abandon him on a tiny island
with only other rats and garbage for company. Rumors circulate that the
island is haunted but it-s actually his psychic screams reaching distant
boaters. A race of devastatingly powerful, violent aliens turn
out to be mental toddlers who don-t know what they-re doing and are just
bred to think they-re playing one big game before they-re killed at age
three so they don-t learn the truthAn alien spends a few
centuries hanging from the parasitic tentacle of a much bigger alien,
surrounded by millions of rotting corpses attached to its other
moon-spanning tendrils. They engage in mental warfare until one finally
absorbs the other completely. It turns out another seemingly
-evil- alien race is simply driven to kill and eat everything in sight
because it was separated from its original world where food was
continuous and the entire specie-s life is the torture of perpetual
starvationA peaceful robot willingly removes its inhibition
against violence to help in the war, only to slaughter a huge number of
alien-controlled humans so gruesomely that nobody dares think about or
speak of it again and it is the only thing left undescribed in a book
series that already describes entrails getting torn out and skulls
getting smashedA child stays too long in the form of a flea and
instead of turning back into a human, accidentally turns momentarily
into one big, giant flea that can only writhe and moan because it
shouldn-t exist and can-t live at that scale. The kids discover
Atlantis, then discover that Atlanteans are inbred mutants who paralyze
any humans they find, dissect them alive to figure out how their organs
work, then stuff the corpses as kitschy museum displays for their
children. An ordinary ant gets transformed into a human child.
It has no idea what-s happening and is so overwhelmed by its huge new
brain and sensory input that it can only scream until it dies

Honestly, the most upsetting cover in the series, in my opinion, is the very first one. You can really tell just from looking at it that they hadn't quite figured out how this whole thing was going to work yet, so instead of the clever photo manipulation they used for all the other books in the series, they created horrific CGI models of each step in the morph. (This was made even worse by the fact that, due to the aforementioned Early Installment Weirdness, Book 1's cover features -8- steps instead of the 5 used on every other) And this was not good CGI, either; these were terrifying dead-eyed computer models, and I am eternally grateful that these ones only showed the head and didn't try to handle the entire body like all the other books.

Honestly, the descriptions of the morphing transitions in the books is. WAY MORE UPSETTING than the cover art. It always goes on for pages, the kids are always horrified, and it's not -everything gradually fades into the animal- the way the cover art suggests. When they morph insects, for example, six giant hairy insect legs might suddenly pop out of their otherwise human torsos, for example.
Griffin, man, disappointed you never read these, lol. They were my childhood. And I still think they're great.

The animorphs text descriptions of morphing in the book are SIGNIFICANTLY worse than the covers because they don't actually happen gradually, it'll be like, someone first gets giant fly eyes popping out of their head, and then their abdomen segments, and then they shrink, and then they grow wings, and THEN they're a fly. The characters actually throw up from seeing it multiple times early in the series, before they get used to it.

Fun fact about these covers: They're actually LESS horrifying than the descriptions in the books, because morphing in the books was never a smooth, consistent process. You could have six human sized cockroach legs, or two cockroach-sized human legs with that weird Bug Leg Hair all over them.
It's gross, basically.

animorphs as a kid series has a few pretty upsetting ideas, chief among them that there's one kid who gets trapped in the body of a hawk and is forced to live out the rest of his life as a predatory bird of prey. it's also supposed to be a metaphor for the horrors of war?

I never read animorphs, I think they came out right around when I was too young for the and I missed the hype train. But then I got a job at my local library in high school and we had several shelves dedicated to the entire series in the paperback section.

The weird thing is, the books explicitly say transformations don't work like the cover art. The kid -> animal process isn't uniform, so they can have fully animal legs/face & fully human torsos for a solid 30 seconds before they complete the morph.

Who are you calling a partial starfish, you CLOD?
Also, for the record, Animorphs was kinda my childhood, so thank you Nick and Griffin for allowing me to revissert it by describing the body horrors of the front covers.

I love how everybody is fixated on Rachel beating a guy up with her own severed arm (book # 32 if you're interested) even thought we don't actually SEE that scene - we only hear Mean Rachel talk about it later!

I read a ton of these books when I was a kid but never finished the series. Reading through the comments it sounds like they might actually be worth re-reading, is that the case?

These books literally shaped me as a human being, thankfully better than they're shaped on the covers. Animorphs: best and most messed up series. Love it.

I lost a bet about what species Tobias was trapped as. Thought it was peregrine falcon, but, of course, it was red-tailed hawk. Now I'm out 20 bones.

This bit really benefits from the visuals. It was hilarious if you could picture the books, but pretty bad radio if you weren't familiar.
