Rape Fantasies

"Rape Fantasies" is a short story by the Canadian author Margaret Atwood. The story, notable for its dark humor, was originally published in The Fiddlehead in 1975, and subsequently republished in Atwood's Dancing Girls & Other Stories in 1977, after being left out of the first edition. The story gained greater attention and study when it was later anthologized in the 1985 edition of Norton Anthology of Literature by Women.
