Hey Nerds! This week, we're diving into some of the most intriguing themes from Jamison Shea's I Fed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ“š. Weโ€™re chatting about monstrous femininity and how it plays out in the story, drawing comparisons with classic tropes like the femme fatale and the witch. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’„โœจ

Plus, we talk about some of our favorite female power characters, including Amy from Gone Girl, Circe from Circe, and Shiori'anma from Six Crimson Cranes ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ”ฅ. We love a dark, powerful woman, and these characters deliver in spades! How do they embody strength, complexity, and a touch of darkness?

Tune in to join the conversation! ๐ŸŽง Donโ€™t miss outโ€”let us know your thoughts after you listen! ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ–ค
