I really liked the concept of this one, but I wish that there wasn't a romance element or a conveniently placed male saviour.

I really wanted to devour this title! Sadly it was lost when my kindle updated. I am unable to provide a proper review.

Feral isn’t marketed as a young adult novel, but it has all the trappings: an adolescent female who has little experience with boys, although a definite interest in them, finds herself in a dangerous situation and has to survive by her wits while learning about herself and, in the process, finding a boy who makes her feel special. It isn’t a formula I seek out because I’m not a young adult and novels of that ilk too often devolve into trashy romance fiction, but readers in the appropriate market might like Feral more than I did. I can only say that this is not what I expected from co-author B.K. Evenson, who is a fine writer of adult fiction.

Feral begins in a way that suggests the beginning of a zombie novel. A fire at a place that does genetic manipulation has made something like a virus airborne, making males at Allie Hilt’s school behave aggressively. Eventually all males treat females as prey. Fortunately, Allie is athletic and pretty aggressive even without the virus that turns men into feral killers. And fortunately, the feral killers aren’t zombies, although they aren’t far removed from zombies.

The story that follows is post-apocalyptic. Three years have passed. The only goal men have is to kill women. Women have banded together in camps to protect themselves. This seems likely to be the last generation of human life, since normal reproduction is, under the circumstances, out of the question. Allie and her sister are the scouts for one of the camps. Dr. Zeman, who once worked at the company that manufactured the virus, is experimenting on captive feral men to see if she can neutralize the virus before the human race ends.

Point of view shifts from Allie to her sister to Dr. Zeman to a foul-mouthed woman named Jacky. Allie, however, is clearly the main character. And of course, this wouldn’t be a YA novel unless Allie met an uninfected boy who soon says “it was like I knew you” when he talks about seeing her for the first time. You know it’s a YA novel when the authors feel compelled to add a cheesy romance between two dreamy young people. And you really know it’s YA when, after they have sex, everyone wonders why the young woman is glowing. After that, of course, she becomes jealous, as if she’s entitled to his exclusive attention when he’s the only normal male in a world full of fertile women. The gak factor in this book repeatedly caused a bit of bile to rise in my throat.

Feral isn’t all bad, by any means. The story reminds us of the small things that distinguish humans from each other (the things humans lose when they become feral), and in that sense the story has poignant moments. But some of it is a bit silly and all of it is disappointingly predictable.

NOT RECOMMENDED

One is best known as the writer and director of the popular and commercially successful The Purge movie franchise while the other is a renowned, award-winning author of both literary horror stories and movie and video game tie-ins. Both have come together to collaborate on a post-apocalyptic horror story where the genders are divided. It is a fresh take on an old trope that also explores the nature of humanity and the relationships we forge with each other, often finding moments of touching vulnerability among the horror of this new world.
The story begins with an epilogue. Given the nature of the story, where America and, possibly, the world suffers an apocalyptic event, it is an unusual yet effective strategy. They begin the novel by introducing us to “the end” and end the novel with a prologue, hinting at the possible path life on earth could take. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. The story begins with a first person narrator introducing us to a normal breakfast scene in her home. We are introduced to her father, a police officer, her mother, her sullen, older teenage sister, Allie, and the narrator herself, Kim. It is a good way to get to know the main players, from the innocent point of view of a child who, it turns out, is remembering the last time her family would be together in such normal circumstances.
As it happens, there is a disaster playing out at the nearby Arcon pharmaceutical company, a fire, that will change their lives forever.
Each chapter is written from a different character’s point of view, sometimes in first person, sometimes in third. In doing so, the authors provide us with a more detailed story. For example, Chapters one and two are told in first person from Allie’s point of view, detailing the kind of potential scandal that is all too real in our modern society. And we see the kind of person Allie is; fiercely loyal, just and unafraid to stand up for what she believes is right. These are traits that serve her well when the apocalyptic event occurs.
The fire that consumed the pharmaceutical laboratory soon unleashes a toxin that infects every male until they are reduced to primal, animalistic, feral creatures that seemingly exist only to feed and destroy. They will leave other men alone but, when they encounter a woman, their rage becomes uncontrollable as they are consumed by their bloodlust. In a sense, the book could be considered as a new twist on the zombie story. We have seen fast zombies consumed by rage in movies such as 28 Days Later, I Am Legend and World War Z, but Feral uses the division of gender to bring something different to the table.
After the events of the first day of infection, we are transported three years into the future to find a tougher, battle-hardened nineteen-year-old Allie on the hunt. She and her sister have found refuge with a small compound of women survivors in the camp of West Staten, just one of many dotted around the country. Led by the militaristic Jacky, a woman who seems to have moved on from the idea of ever having uninfected men around, and Dr. Zeman, a former scientist at the Arcon facility who works night and day to find a cure for the infection, relying on Allie to bring her live male specimens for her experiment. Allie finds her loyalties to both women tested throughout, as she struggles to make her own mind up About the future of the human race and her part in it. For the most part she is simply focussed on protecting her sister, Kim, from danger. More than once she hints that, if she felt it was no longer safe in West Staten, she and Kim would leave, live on their own, as they did before joining the group. But she has a purpose at West Staten and some part of her still believes that the “Doc” can make things right again. Even if Jacky and many of the women have reconciled themselves with the idea that men may never return and have since moved on to form relationships with each other.
The story takes a dramatic turn when Allie makes contact with a mysterious stranger who could hold the answer to defeating the virus and ridding men of the infection, thus securing the future of the human race. But, at the same time, Allie begins to notice a change in the behaviour of the ferals. There are larger groups roving the town beyond West Staten’s wall, and most of them are previously unknown to Allie and the other scouts. The women also begin to experience problems communicating with the other camps. Who is the mysterious feral known as “Scarface” and why do the other ferals seem to act differently, almost subservient, around him? And what is happening at the nearby harbour, signposted as “The Docks of Death”?
The story, despite being far from perfect, is very enjoyable. The chapters are short and, given the variety of characters who are used as narrators for each chapter, we are given a great deal of insight into their individual personalities. The zombie story has been done many times before, but not quite like this and, given that one of the authors is an experienced and successful screenwriter and director it is clear to see the cinematic qualities of the story and it would make for an entertaining script. But given the glut of zombie films of recent years, it would take some exceptional casting and direction to distinguish it from all of the other zombie movies. If you are a fan of fast-paced and action-packed zombie stories, you could do worse than pick up this book.

This book has me so conflicted! The first half of the book had me desperate to love the entire thing, but it derailed.

The good points:

This book is so easy to read, despite some weird tense switching as chapters are told from perspectives of different characters.

It's easy to totally immerse yourself in the horror of what's going on, especially when all of the men are struck down by an airborne virus which either kills them or turns them into adrenaline fuelled monsters (think 28 days later). As women are unaffected by the disease, they have to start banding together for their own safety and, where possible, work on a cure.
So far, so brilliant!

Allie, the main character, is 16 when the story starts and she witnesses the end of the world. 3 years on and she has perfected her hunting skills and is the main scout for her settlement - she's a strong, capable protagonist until about halfway through.


The bad points:

Something happens and suddenly she loses all ability to fight, make rational decisions and keep her settlement safe - not only her, but all of the women who have had the fortitude to survive the end of the world as we know it and stay safe for THREE YEARS, suddenly forget how to differentiate between their arses and their elbows and need a man to save them.

This story started off so strong and then spiralled downhill halfway through. I felt so cheated as soon as the story took a turn in this direction - it felt like it was all set to be a book about women handling themselves like heroes, creating a cure and restoring order to the planet. It felt like the authors had to make a special effort to make it go this way rather than let it take its natural course.


So yeah, mixed feelings - if they could just go back and rewrite the ending of this novel to represent women as they actually are, it would be a strong contender for my book of the year! As it stands... I feel cheated.

Feral
by James DeMonaco and B. K. Evenson

Synopsis:
Allie Hilts was still in high school when a fire at a top-secret research facility released an air-borne pathogen that quickly spread to every male on the planet, killing most. Allie witnessed every man she ever knew be consumed by fearsome symptoms: scorching fevers and internal bleeding, madness and uncontrollable violence. The world crumbled around her. No man was spared, and the few survivors were irrevocably changed. They became disturbingly strong, aggressive, and ferocious. Feral.

Three years later, Allie has joined a group of hardened survivors in an isolated, walled-in encampment. Outside the guarded walls the ferals roam free, and hunt. Allie has been noticing troubling patterns in the ferals' movements, and a disturbing number of new faces in the wild. Something catastrophic is brewing on the horizon, and time is running out. The ferals are coming, and there is no stopping them.

My first encounter with James DeMonaco was the film Skinwalkers, which I hated. However, The Purge gave me a few jump scares and a nice sense of building tension, so I started reading Feral with a hopeful attitude. Having Brian Evenson as a co-writer was encouraging since I’ve read Father of Lies and enjoyed it. I’m also a fan of post-apoc fiction; another thumb on the scale for this book.
Feral started out strong. The confusion and fear during the outbreak are realistically portrayed. Scenes of sudden and horrific transformations are vividly described, as are the deaths of those unlucky enough to get caught by the feral packs of crazed men. The first few chapters hooked me, and I settled in for the rest of the book.
Allie is a bonafide badass, using her old skills as a lacrosse star in all new ways. She’s a lone hunter type of woman; hyper-alert and determined to keep her young sister and herself alive. Small camps of women who survived the outbreak live in fortified camps, keeping in touch via radio. Allie is one of the few who are brave (or reckless) enough to spend days outside the minefields and barricades while she thins out the feral population and scavenges for supplies. The ferals have a “hive” of their own and have taken over the river docks, where no woman dares approach for fear of literally being torn apart. It doesn’t take much to foresee the coming conflict.
There’s a lot to like in this book. It’s certainly entertaining. Narrow escapes, tense chase scenes, and extreme zom– er, feral-killing rampages will satisfy the bloodlust factor. The women in the camp do their best to survive while trying to create a sense of normalcy for the children and young teens among them. It’s no surprise that all of them are traumatized, but many of them pair up for comfort. There’s a romantic subplot, but revealing the details involves spoilers, so that’s all I’ll say.
Another bonus comes from the author’s skill at screenwriting. We get multiple points of view on the story that play out like scenes in a film. The storytelling here feels cinematic, so people who are more accustomed to watching TV and movies will be right at home here. As a book, it works, but it would be a kickass movie; enough so that I wonder if this started out as a screenplay.
It’s easy to see that Feral leans heavily on zombie and post-apocalyptic tropes. Catastrophic outbreak of an experimental pathogen? Horrific transformations into a bestial form? Hordes of indiscriminate killers who want to eat human flesh? Band of plucky survivors who figure out they can mask their scent with the blood of dead ferals? Forbidden romance and putting one’s life before someone you love? It’s all been done before. But as I’ve strongly hinted throughout, if you’re a fan of zompoc fiction, you’re going to enjoy Feral.

I love post-apocalyptic books, and Feral is an interesting spin on the zombie style books. The characters and rich and interesting. I felt the book jumped around a bit, but I enjoyed the story the whole way through. Feral is tells a complete story, but also leaves enough open that would make me interested in reading more of a series.

Feral is an interesting novel which follows the apocalyptic structure. Although, on a personal level, I am pretty much over the zombie, apocalyptic novel, film, television series, etc., DeMonaco and Evenson have given this a sociological slant that can be admired for its feministic or misogynistic slant, depending on your point of view, to an otherwise over egged genre.

Allie and Kim Hilts are interesting characters and the authors flit back and forth between the two main characters writing in the first person. What sets this up differently from most horror trends at the moment is they also write in the third person which gives the novel that extra bit of suspense giving the ending more of a surprise.

This is DeMonaco’s first novel after coming off ‘The Purge’ films. This does have a Purge feeling to the proceedings as the violence is very much in the same vein. The breakdown of society is very interestingly told and DeMonaco keeps this set firmly in the very near future. As it is dealing with biochemical warfare, this does give it a topical setting for our modern times.

B K Evenson is another author no stranger to the genre. He has written novelizations with Rob Zombie for ‘The Lords of Salem’ novel and have written for the Dead Space and Alien franchise. This is the third book that I have read by this author and there are some common tropes within this novel that will be addressed later.

The characters are well written and the plot moves along at a quick page turning pace. The science behind the attack comes across as believable. The novel overall, is not a bad novel but there are some warning bells that begin ringing from the start and continue at a crescendo to its fast paced conclusion.

The novel is very violent toward women and although the story is written from a female viewpoint. The extreme violence against them could ring some warning bells to some readers or create a sociological hot potato from some groups emerging today. The saving grace is that there is no sexual violence, as the main objective of the infected is to murder the opposite sex, not humiliate them. I personally wasn’t sure about the overall sense of the novel due to the subject manner. This will not be for everybody but it will probably evoke some. BK Evenson has had difficulties in the past due to violence against women through his writing which I can understand how this can come across.

Now that this is addressed, ‘Feral’ is a well-crafted novel that tries something different which can be commendable. It has enough uniqueness to separate this from the average zombie/apocalyptic novel. The monsters of the piece are not zombies but it does follow this formula. The science is believable which a great accomplishment to this type of genre as normally this is hobbled together into some kind of scientific mess.

At times the characters seemed to be older from their perspective age and there is a loss of identity when flitting between the two first person narratives. The use of italics helps the reader differentiate between the two main characters but realistically they should have been given their own voice to be more effective.

Overall, it’s a quick read that moves at a fast pace and tries something different from a tired genre lifting this from the norm. Engaging characters and situations drives the reader forward through this violent new world. It is very filmic in its approach which helps the reader fully realized this apocalyptic world. The violence against women bothered me to a point but it is the general premise of the novel.

Personal feeling aside, I would rate this 4 stars as this is a good solid read and for fans of this genre, this should be an overall winner.

Blumhouse has been leading the way in horror production lately with big box office successes like The Conjuring, Split, and Get Out. I hadn’t realized that they were lending their name to novels too now. James DeMonaco, the writer/director of the hit, The Purge, gives us Feral, a horror book from the Blumhouse Books stable.

All signs point to it not being a typical school day for Allie. A drama-filled day begins when a sex tape of her best friend is widely circulated. Little does she realize that it will be the last day of school. Things get progressively stranger as the school day continues. Male students are distracted in the classroom and perform incredible feats of strength on the sports field. Slowly, all the male students begin showing strange symptoms, excreting a pus-like mucus substance, and running a high fever. This is the how the end of civilization begins.

A chemical fire released a virus that only affects males. It either kills them or speeds up their metabolism and makes them rabid. It’s an apocalyptic tale, but a change from the usual zombie infection tropes. There is no spreading of the infection. If a feral gets a woman, he will simply tear her to pieces.

One of the most interesting aspects of the book is the discussion of gender. Nearly all the characters are female. This is certainly something new in this kind of narrative and an enjoyable change. It could be argued that the feral males are a metaphor for rape culture. Males are savage, instinctual, and out of control. There are morally blurred questions asked about what both ferals and women do to try to keep their races alive.

The women are holed up together in a camp. Their interactions and the newly built societal structure is fascinating. There are certain similarities to the dramatic siege narrative of The Walking Dead. The book also weighs individual survival or responsibility against contributing to the group. Allie and her younger sister, Kim, have to grow up quickly in order to survive.

A number of chapters of the book are from the first person perspective of different characters. It’s an interesting way of giving us insight into what different characters feel about one another, without forcing the exposition. The tension of the book comes as much from the interactions of the characters as from the ever present threat of the ferals.

There are plenty of twists and turns and a thrilling climax. Some of the scenes and action set pieces are memorable. It’s full of action, but also thought provoking, bringing up issues and questions far beyond the words on the pages.

Back when I was still watching The Walking Dead (before all that Negan nonsense), I went through a post apocalypse phase with my reading choices. Survivors scrambling to endure as the world falls apart around them while zombies and bad guys hunt them like dogs. As much as I enjoyed reading them, it didn’t take long to notice a pattern with the storylines and the type of characters in the sub-genre.

There was usually at least one alpha male who coincidentally had an end-of-the-world “prepper” buddy with a secluded cabin. Other members usually included a feisty old guy, a child and at least one hot girl whose only purpose seemed to be constantly stumbling into stupid situations from which she needed to be rescued and serving as a love interest for the alpha male. One of the reasons I cut back on my post apocalypse reading is because I just wasn’t seeing anything outside this basic setup. Then I came across Feral.

Right out of the gate, the book blurb grabbed me by making it clear the main character wasn’t some muscle bound, ex-Navy Seal turned cop. It was a high school kid and a girl. Surely she joined up with some manly men who would rescue and then bed her, right? Nope. In this post apocalypse story, the guys are the problem, not the solution. By the time I got halfway through the blurb, I was in.

One way Feral doesn’t break with convention is by opening the story right before the end-of-the-world outbreak. This is where we’re introduced to Allie and she makes it abundantly clear that she’s not like other high school girls during her practice.

And then, late in practice, things get even more precise, everything fluid, and there’s an amazing moment when I can’t do anything wrong. There I am, running fast, spinning, pivoting, sprinting towards the goal. Nothing can stop me—I know it somehow, really know it—and even when the way looks blocked by three other players, I serpentine my way through. I take a hard hit, but it doesn’t slow me, then another, and today I don’t even feel it. I’ll welcome the bruises tomorrow

Once the opening establishes Allie as the alpha female, it jumps ahead a few years. She and her little sister have joined a group of women holed up in a walled compound to protect themselves from the roving male ferals who are violent, super strong and can literally smell females from miles away. By this point, Allie has become a fierce hunter/protector for the community but even she’s not prepared for the unexpected twists that begin to take place both inside the compound and out in the wild.

Overall, the plot moves at a comfortable pace with enough twists thrown in to keep things interesting. There are a few angsty, YA moments but for the most part, it’s kept to a minimum as the characters are forced to deal with multiple, rapidly-changing scenarios. Big picture moral dilemmas symbolizing the brutal choices every society makes to protect the greater good play out in real time as Allie struggles to figure out what’s right for everyone concerned but mostly for the ones she loves.

Given how how many things are left unresolved at the end, I was a bit surprised there’s been no mention of a sequel. This story is begging to made into a series. I think it’d be a good one.

My other major disappointment is that the book is priced at $11.99. I was given a copy to review for free but even knowing it’s an above average read, I don’t think I’d pay that much for any book not written by someone named Stephen King. I think the publisher is doing Feral a disservice by pricing it so high which is a real shame considering how much it has going for it.

An interesting reversal on "The Screwfly Solution", "Feral" documents events in a world in which a biological outbreak has driven all the men in the world insane (more so than usual, anyway), reducing them to the titular state. This was an enjoyable romp with some effective (and appropriately gross) scenes of horror that nevertheless falters a little by being a collaboration. The seams are evident and the pace can, at times, be jarring, and while the ending was satisfactory, I was left wishing the book had gone deeper in its exploration of feminism, repression, and the patriarchy, which was what really gave the book its edge over the glut of similar titles. Overall, entertaining, and I look forward to reading more from these authors and the publisher.

Scary, creepy and kinda good.....hated Allie thought she was obnoxious, thought loved seeing the new world through her eyes. I thought the book started off really string then got weaker then stronger again towards the end.

Love the walking dead and this was similar, was an easy read and finished it quickly and enjoyed it too, a good read if your into this kinda book....and not a bad read if you're not!!!

"Feral" by James DeMonaco and B.K. Evenson is a very good (not great) post-apocalyptic horror story. Non-stop action, graphic horror, and fantastic characterization throughout, the pages will no doubt flash by as you are propelled along for a thrilling ride.

Though the writing is crisp and engaging, I could not give this book 5 stars for a couple of reasons.

First, as a writer myself, I was a bit perplexed on why the author(s) decided to alternate the point-of-views of the characters the way they did. For example, with the protagonist of Allie, they use both 1st person and 3rd person viewpoints. Why? I can only assume they felt that some of the scenes require the reader to get a more in-depth understanding of what the characters are feeling at that specific moment, but the author(s) could have achieved this regardless of whatever P.O.V. they stuck with. I have never read a story like this, and although it didn't hinder the break-neck speed of the story, it does strike me as an odd choice.

Secondly, the story seems to have a bit of an identity crisis. The first part feels very YA, but then the tone changes completely with the next part, becoming very dark and graphic. And as the story progresses, the plot becomes rather predictable on what will occur...almost Hollywood-like, which makes sense because one the authors is a director of horror movies.

Lastly, I understand why the author(s) began the novel with an Epilogue (the end of the world as we know it) and ended it with a Prologue (the start of something new), but I feel like they could have achieved this effect much better somehow. (When I began to read it, I actually thought I had received a bad copy of the book. LOL).

Overall, "Feral" is a decent addition to the realm of post-apocalyptic horror, but there are too many questionable things about this book to make it a great one.

NOTE: I received a free copy from NetGalley for an honest review.

An interesting, exciting action premise hindered by chopped writing, confusing POV switches, and a lack of decent character development. While viral outbreak plots are nothing new, the virus at narrative's center is at least engrossing enough to keep the pages turning. However, what makes things tedious is lead gal Allie, one who never really feels like a female character, but a wooden male posing as a female for the sake of the narrative's constraints. Toss in an underbaked teen romance, and the interesting premise becomes boring. DeMonaco is a fantastic screenwriter, which translates well to the action sequences here, but it's the characters on page in this novel that needs work.

FERAL would make a pretty thrilling film, but as a novel it tends to bore.

Copy furnished by Net Galley for the price of a review.

As a noxious black smoke roils from a research facility, men start dropping like flies. Many will die quickly, the rest will go mad, turning completely feral in a matter of minutes. Husbands, sons, and brothers morph into monstrous beastie boys. The scent of the female of the species enrages them, and they attack.

The opening had my interest, but it didn't take long for things to segue into something that was all too familiar. Yep. Insta-love is back! And it's quicker than ever! Fold in a complete character turnaround of the leading lady and I lost my taste for the whole dish.

I enjoyed this book I thought the idea behind it was highly original and well written.I didn't always like the main character but it didn't stop me wanting to find out what was going to happen to her, I did work out some of the plot and my only small criticism is that I felt it could have been a little tighter and shorter .I think if it had been more punchy it would have made it more exciting, but this is my personal view and I am more than happy for others to disagree.I still found this to be an entertaining well thought out book and would read more by this author.Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Being in the dystopian genre, I thought I would eat this book up. However, as others have noted, it started well and faded from there.

I enjoyed the initial infection, but that didn't last long. I was fearful of the bump in the night when I was reading the first quarter of this book - that's how into it I was. Then fast-forward, we're in a world full of females. As much as I want to admire the author for letting women be immune to the infection, it ended up leaving little to happen in the story.

In addition to the world being mostly boring with only females, there were some things that just didn't seem to play out, things that seemed promising that I guess really didn't matter in the end.

I'd give this 3.5/5 stars if I could, but no halfsies allowed - so 3/5.

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-copy.

Allie was still in high school when a fire at a research facility releases an airborne infection that spreads to every male on the planet; although killing most, the surviving men become consumed by symptoms like uncontrollable violence, strength and ferociousness. They are feral. As the world crumbles around them, the unaffected survivors (all women) ban together. As Allie scavenges for supplies for the group, she begins to notice strange patterns with the ferals. Something is brewing. And time is running out….

Feral, a post-apocalyptic style horror thriller, by James DeMonaco was a thoroughly entertaining read. I read it easily in a few sittings; it’s subject matter and fast paced writing style made it easy to devour. A virus that only affects men? A world run by women? I was all over this book.

This author is the same writer (and director) of The Purge films; I am a huge fan of those films because of their realism. I found this to be true in Feral as well, although a post-apocalyptic style novel, it never felt far-fetched or completely unrealistic. There was always that constant “hmm, what if…” running through the back of my mind.

The novel is told through multiple (and sometimes random) first person perspectives. Most often, Allie narrates the plot and I thoroughly enjoyed her commentary. She is strong, smart and hardened. I’d take Allie on my team any day in an apocalypse situation. We also get perspectives from a doctor (who, ironically, was partially responsible for the initial outbreak) as she hunts down a serum to cure the ferals before the human species is lost forever. Her perspectives were also interesting. However, I had some issues with chapters randomly narrated by secondary characters and, occasionally, a chapter would switch to third person. When these switches happened, I had to slow down my reading so I could figure out who was speaking.

I feel like fans of The Walking Dead series will enjoy the style of this one; it was also a little reminiscent for me of I Am Legend. It would not surprise me to see this one on the big screen. Overall, for entertainment value alone, I gave this one 4/5 stars.

I enjoyed the storyline of this book, it was a good perspective to read about the end of the world as we know it, from the angle which the author chose to write it. The story flowed well and the characters were believable. I would definitely recommend.

A fabulous take on the old zombie genre, Feral deals with an out of control virus that only affects the male of the species.
Allie is great as the tough but soft centred heroine, running on autopilot to keep herself and her sister safe.
Bloodthirsty but also hopeful, this apocalyptic tale tells of a world occupied by women and infected men/animals, who will survive?
I really hope there is going to be a sequel to Feral as there are so many loose ends that I want tying up.
Great story, great author.
