Hi everyone, Sarah Perlmutter of THE BLAST and THE DEATHLESS TRILOGY here, and I'm *so* excited to write this short piece inspired by The Handmaid's Tale, a new Hulu Original series premiering April 26th.
I obviously love a good Dystopian society, and Margaret Atwood created one of the most intriguing and lasting examples in all of literature. Hulu was so smart to pick this up, and I cannot wait to watch the series! My story mixes some of Atwood's themes with some familiar societal structures from my Deathless trilogy.
I hope you enjoy reading my Handmaid's tale as much as I enjoyed writing it! Let me know what you think in the comments, and hopefully you'll be inspired to write your own Handmaid's tale! Use the hashtag #MyHandmaidsTale to join in with your own 500 word story inspired by The Handmaid's Tale!
