Episode 4: Our Hideous Progeny

Get your bookmarks out: It's time to talk about Our Hideous Progeny by C.E. McGill!

From the author's website:

"It’s weird, it’s queer, and it’s here in bookshops near you! OUR HIDEOUS PROGENY is my debut novel, a spiritual sequel to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and a love letter to women in science and the fascinating history of Victorian paleoart.

Are you a fan of Victorian mad science? Gothic gays? Women who are angry, and ambitious, and covered in blood? Then OHP may be for you!"

We get into the book's themes of women's overlooked contributions of science, parental abandonment, queer pining, my amazing ability to say Benjamin Franklin when I mean Thomas Edison, and more! (Content and trigger warnings below)

Don't forget to check out Nightmare Maven's excellent video review on Our Hideous Progeny, "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Is A Masterpiece"!

This week's special segment is Songs I'm Obsessed With, featuring Keath Osk's Kid and Leveret from their Yaelokre project!
