February 2022

Hey sickos! Here’s what the most dangerous woman in speculative fiction has been up to in the month of February 2022:

• We hit our 100 subscriber goal on Patreon, so we finally released an episode examining Marian Engel’s Bear, an erotic Canadian novel about a woman who falls in love with a bear.

• We revisited some squeecore discourse.

• And, on the Patreon, we walked away from Omelas.

Recommended reading:

• V.S. Wells asks, “How did queer stories start being made for straight people?”

• The first issue of Seize the Press is out, and it features an unnerving short story by Karlo Yeager Rodriguez  

• And Simon McNeil talks about The Problem with the Middle
