Lucille is sent away to the Ursuline convent in Brussels, expecting piety and refinement—and instead finds a regime where discipline is absolute and the slightest defiance earns the kiss of the birch rod. Under the watchful eyes of the Lady Superior and the ever-present Sister Serena, the girls’ bodies become sites of surveillance, punishment, and secret games.
When a treacherous classmate betrays her, Lucille’s simmering rage erupts in a nocturnal act of revenge that is as shocking as anything the nuns themselves devise, proving she has learned more from their cruelty than they ever intended.
Listen, and feel the hush before the birch.

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.
