  The Empathizer

  "The Empathizer" is a provocative dystopian political satire that transports listeners to a fractured America after a second civil war. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death," this limited audio series follows one man's harrowing journey when he returns to the progressive West Coast and becomes trapped as the deadly pandemic sweeps through the region. 
  When our protagonist, a Zionist Jew who defected to the eastern states after the war, returns to New California to bury his parents alongside his estranged sister Judith, he finds himself fleeing to the compound of Gravity Darker—a powerful rapper-turned-politician. Inside this seemingly secure fortress, seven color-coded rooms host an elaborate masquerade where the progressive elite party while the world outside succumbs to disease and chaos. 
  As our hero navigates through increasingly bizarre and decadent environments, he uncovers the dark truth behind Gravity's wealth and power: a horrifying experiment called the "Radical Empathizer" that harvests human brains to artificially create empathy. When the pandemic inevitably breaches the compound walls, the spectacular collapse of this utopian experiment reveals the hollow nature of performative empathy and privilege. 
  "The Empathizer" combines Gothic horror with political satire to create a thought-provoking commentary on our divided society, challenging listeners to examine their assumptions about empathy, privilege, and political ideology. 
  For listeners captivated by this world, the story will continue in a planned second season, drawing inspiration from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

  Archaeological illustrator, Beatrix Forster, accompanies her husband, retired archaeology professor, William Forster, to excavate the cemetery at San Miguel in Excelsis, an isolated medieval sanctuary in the mountains of northern Spain. Bill's former student, now a priest in Navarre, has enticed them out of comfortable retirement with the rumor that the infamous medieval knight and founder of the sanctuary, Teodosio de Goñi, may be buried at the church. Despite initial misgivings about working in Spain under the shadow of Franco's dictatorship, they accept the project and travel to Navarre with students from the University of Toronto. Personalities clash as the students grow weary of the remote location, but when one of the students is brutally murdered, accusations begin to surface. Beatrix and Bill fear that the local Civil Guard, much hated by the populace, has bungled the investigation and they take it upon themselves to determine the identity of the killer. They soon find that everyone at San Miguel has something to hide, and Beatrix begins to wonder just how well she and Bill know those with whom they are living.

  She’s a Lamb! - A Novel

  A darkly comic suspense in the vein of All’s Well and Yellowface, She’s a Lamb! is an edgy and incisive novel that marches toward showtime with a growing unease about the dangers of magical thinking and the depths of delusion
  		 
  Jessamyn St. Germain is meant to be a star. Not an actor who occasionally books yogurt commercials and certainly not a lowly usher at one of Vancouver’s smallest regional theaters. No, she is bound for greatness, and that’s why the part of Maria in the theater’s upcoming production of The Sound of Music is hers. Or it’s going to be.
  		 
  Jessamyn may have been relegated to the position of childminder for the little brats playing the von Trapp children, but it’s so obvious she’s there for a different reason — the director wants her close to the role so when Samantha, the lead, inevitably fails, Jessamyn will be there to take her place in the spotlight.
  		 
  This must be it. Because if it isn’t, well, then every skipped meal, every brutal rehearsal, every inch won against a man attempting to drag her down will have all been for nothing.
  		 
  Sharp, relentless, and darkly funny, She’s a Lamb! is a cutting satire about the grotesque pall patriarchy casts over one woman’s delusional quest to achieve her dreams and the depths she will sink to for a chance at the life she’s convinced she deserves.
