In this episode of I’m joined by author Stephen Paul Edwards to explore the psychological depths of his book The Venus Fly Trap — a story described as equal parts Fifty Shades, Gone Girl, and a therapy session with the devil.

In this episode, we explore:

• The psychology of erotic obsession.
• Fantasy vs manipulation in relationships.
• What destabilising attraction reveals about ourselves.
• Shame, secrecy, and the cost of silence.
• Why writing the truth can change the body — not just the mind.
• A live reading from the book.
