    Episode 13: Clap by Jane Ashworth (Featuring Ambika Thompson)

He ticked my boxes, tasteful city centre apartment, accomplished speaker of three languages, wife in the country (clichéd Georgian Rectory but that was probably more her choice). He enjoyed cooking. Once I’d tutored him beyond the marital sex that he tried to foist on me, we seemed compatible. For a while.  Until he fell in love with me."In this episode, Erin, Sharon, and special guest Ambika Thompson talk about using current events in short stories, when is it too soon, and how to use specific details to make them work.Ambika Thompson is a writer, musician and parent.

Nothing like a baby, with its big head, all blue and squishy, covered in yellowish paste. I have seen it before, a long time ago, and the images have never left me. You will most likely be even more ugly. Being evil leaves its marks..."In this episode, Erin O'Loughlin, Sharon Mertins and special guest Rebecca Rukeyser talk about dystopias, dark stories, and why we love  grim narratives so much!REBECCA RUKEYSER is the recipient of a 2018 Grant for Non-German Literature, awarded by the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe.
