Feral Feminism in Rae Wilde's I Do Not Apologize for My Position on Men

Welcome to episode 4 of This Might Sound Strange, a horror fiction podcast where tarot cards direct the conversation. Our guest today is Rae Wilde, whose short story collection I DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR MY POSITION ON MEN is just as provocative and confrontational as the title suggests.

Through short stories, novellas, and even a choose-your-own-adventure tale, Rae explores the many ways patriarchy poisons everything it touches. These stories are incredibly varied, from body horror and gore to dark humor and even some, let’s say, unusual erotic situations. Plus, the cover and title make this book truly the gift of the season. We recommend gifting this to yourself or your most feral feminist friends so they can leave it on their coffee tables as a litmus test for visitors!

We also want to thank everyone who’s listened. This week, we’ve surpassed 500 listens, which is absolutely crazy for a podcast that only has three episodes out. If you enjoy today’s episode, consider writing a review or a comment wherever you’re listening to help others find the show. If you do, email us a screenshot and your best mailing address! We’ll put something fun in the mail for you.

Until next time…stay strange!

xoxo,

Michelle & Maya
