Animal attacks on the French peasantry, a mysterious beast, and a years long hunt. We’re joined by author Gigi Griffis as we discuss The Beast of Gévaudan, her book We Are The Beasts, and re-writing monsters as saviors.

Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of death, child death, animal attacks, animal death, misogyny, war, natural disasters, and blood.

Guest

Gigi Griffis is the author of We Are The Beasts, The Wicked Unseen, And The Trees Stare Back, The Lioness, and The Empress (as seen on Netflix), among other things. She is a sucker for little-known histories, unlikable female characters, and all things Europe.
