My favorite was Transmigration by Dora Sigerson Shorter. There was a wild drive to the story that never let you catch your breath, an inevitability to the conclusion that you can't look away from.

The chemical burns thing hurt my heart, she might have ended up giving herself permanent scars if she tried something like waxing at home by herself, and didn't know about safe wax temperatures."
