The Strange Recital is an audio anthology of short fiction. It is not genre-specific and delights in perceptions of reality that warp and fold in unexpected ways. The literary works we showcase might be odd, humorous, or surreal.... They might remind you of Borges, Nabokov, Kafka, Pynchon. Or none of the above.
Each podcast episode features one writer and runs about 25 minutes. It includes a story reading – the Recital – a brief musical interlude, and an author interview with a twist – the Post Recital. Subscribe to get a new episode twice a month. It's free.
"The moon cast eerie shadows over the body.
Moonlight filtering through the shifting sycamore branches created
the illusion that he was moving. Father Daniele knelt next to the
man, who was lying in a pool of blood. 'Can your hear me, my
son?'"
A murder in an Italian village... did the priest do
it? Or is this mystery novel really about something else
entirely?
