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.
"Ed Marks woke from another dream about his wife. She’d been
standing in front of him, wearing a white gown that rippled in a
breeze he couldn’t feel. In her arms she held a baby, too small and
raw-looking to be alive."
A man can't sleep. He's alone in the night. What is that
sound, forever repeating from the dark woods? It has to be silenced
at all costs.
