FERA -- A ruthless alpha female for whom the world is divided into two groups: victims and soon-to-be-victims. Only her brother, who she commands absolutely, is safe from her. But forces have conspired to make Fera this way, forces thrust upon what was once just a little girl."It took a year and smashing the face of some Georgia peach so badly every suit in the stands lost his hard-on before they realized I could be of more use than cheap psycho-sexual entertainment for horny stockbrokers. Then I started doing real work . . . "
FERUS -- Silent, merciless, indestructible; at least to the outside world. But the voice in his head, a voice no more than a boy's, paints a very different picture. One of pain, loss, and all-consuming love."When we were kids Fera’d take me into the woods and we’d watch the animals, the predators, the way they'd strike. I remember that real well. It’s how we started learning. From the animals. From the predators . . . "
The Feral Twins. Inseparable, infamous, and just two of the players in The Failed Cities Monologues, a podcast saga in three eight-episode acts. Beginning as a bi-monthly series on Variant Frequencies and now available on Podiobooks.com , The Failed Cities Monologues are set in a dystopian future and played out across a familiar yet distorted American city divided in two, combining sci-fi, ultra-violent horror, and noir archetypes to create a landscape ruled by fractured psyches and dark mirror images.But you're not just about to enter this perpetual night world, you're about to enter the minds of the characters who inhabit it: The twin assassins, a neo-knight, a femme fatale, a reluctant detective, a hotrodding knifesmith, a prosaic pit fighter, and a master street mediator.
