Caledonia Fife writes great fiction, tells great jokes, but is terrible in bed. Honestly, insomnia is no joke, except when it’s the punchline. A satirist by circumstance more than by choice, they channeled the incredible anger they felt at the way trans people were being treated into their fiction, along with the occasional fact, like Elon Musk’s tiny penis and Zuckerberg being an android. The story born from that anger was Attack of the 50 ft Trans Woman, written in a rage and monster fueled week, but they didn’t stop there, and Bigoted Book Burners Bloodily Bludgeoned by Badly Burnt Books was born. Understanding they now wanted to write more satire about fascism, bigotry, and Elon Musk’s miniscule manhood, they started to smile for what felt like the first time in a century.
Exploration
They explored the concept of satire as they wrote, learning what worked and how, by doing and by studying what others had done. Quickly realising that satire couldn’t be marketed the same way as fiction, they decided a new approach was needed, a way to show potential readers what the books might be like. Where a fiction author might write short stories ahead of a release, a satirist could write articles raging at the injustices of the world. The second decade of the second millennium isn’t just good for Nazis and billionaires, it’s good for satirists too. There’s so much to be angry about.
Understanding that satire is activism, Caledonia sought other ways to do activism through art, and the full purpose of Rebel Wrath came to be. If Caledonia could sing, they’d belt their anger out in home made punk songs on Tiktok. Fortunately for the world, they know where their talents do and don’t lie, and everyone is spared that misery. But Caledonia is still punk at heart, and so is Rebel Wrath. Punk in publishing and activism through art.
Rebel Wrath has fact-checked the previous paragraphs as faithfully as Facebook does.

Not everyone reads an about page, so for those of you who took the time, here’s a limerick about Elon Musk’s tiny penis.
There once was a South African billionaire
Who believed himself quite debonair
To an air hostess, he exposed his wank
So she sued him, and made hella bank
Even though she could barely see anything there.
