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.
"I placed my hand in the shoe, and stuck my finger through the
hole. But it didn’t emerge from the shoe.... After six tries, I
realized the problem: my forefinger had entered another
dimension."
If a humble piece of footwear is a portal to an alien
universe, the world must be full of mystery and wonder! Or am I
just crazy?
