This week, we get part one of a big ol’ celebration of fairytale retellings, bold heroines, and ancient stories featured in the anthology ONCE UPON A FORBIDDEN DESIRE! Abigail is joined by Vela Roth, Maria Vale, and SL Prater to discuss all sorts of things like Gilgamesh, human monsters, phallic mother figures, and chasing desires.
