In this intimate, fireside episode of Erotica Obscura, host Zhanna Zee welcomes special guest Dante Remy to her cabin deep in the woods—for tea, ink, and a whispered conversation about the mysterious, magnificent artist known as Apollonia Saintclair.

Together, they explore what it means to call her “the writer who draws.” Saintclair’s illustrations are not decoration—they are literature rendered in shadow, stories compressed into flesh, gaze, and gesture. Each drawing invites you to narrate, implicates you in its ambiguity, and refuses to resolve. Her anonymity is not a veil to be lifted, but the very condition of her art.

Zhanna and Dante move through several unforgettable images—from the wounded lioness to the kneeling reader by candlelight—drawing out how Saintclair’s work lives in the liminal: between ecstasy and estrangement, parody and prayer, climax and collapse. They reflect on themes of erotic tension, ritual, voyeurism, absurdity, surrender, and sacred obscenity. And with the arrival of Project M, her new image-text series, they glimpse something even more explosive: a graphic novel as scripture, composed from the body itself.

Step into the threshold. Let the ink draw you in.

Step into the candlelit crypt of forbidden desire with host Zhanna Zee as Erotica Obscura resurrects one of the most sensual and subversive vampire tales ever written—Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. Before Dracula, there was Carmilla—a story of sapphic longing, blood-soaked intimacy, and erotic horror so potent it still seduces readers 150 years later. In this lushly narrated episode, Zhanna delves deep into the dark psyche of this gothic masterpiece—exploring the symbolism of blood as menstruation, loss of virginity, and transformation; the legacy of Carmilla as both monster and lover; and the forbidden, fatal tenderness between predator and prey.

With insights from Freud, Foucault, and Butler, this isn’t just a book discussion—it’s a rich, intoxicating journey into the shadows where desire and death entwine. Zhanna also confesses her own obsession with the erotic Black Fern Restored Edition—a sensually illustrated volume that reclaims Carmilla as the erotic, psychological ritual it was always meant to be. Whether you're drawn by gothic lore, vampire history, or simply the lure of a kiss that lingers within the erotic imagination, this episode will haunt you in the best possible way.

And yes, Carmilla is now available in audio on the podcast too...if you dare.
