Publisher's Summary

From James DeMonaco, the writer/director of The Purge film franchise, comes the provocative and terrifying last stand of a lone outpost of women in the wake of a deadly pandemic.

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.

With Feral, writer/director James DeMonaco and acclaimed novelist Brian Evenson have created a challenging and entertaining novel of timely horror and exhilarating suspense.

What the critics say

" Feral starts out by being creepy. As it moves forward Feral becomes chilling and then turns terrifying. This is definitely - absolutely, positively - a book to be read with all the lights on!" (Robert McCammon, best-selling author of Swan Song and Boy's Life)
"Feral is nasty excitement, a wild, jolting ride from start to finish. Enjoy." (Andrew Pyper, author of The Demonologist)
"A bloody tale of apocalypse...Told from multiple perspectives, this nail-biter, packed with plenty of gore to satisfy horror fans, offers a neat woman-power twist on the zombie-apocalypse story and a surprisingly poignant, satisfying ending." ( Publishers Weekly)

Great concept, writing not for everyone

I will say that I enjoyed the concept over all and that this would have played out better as a movie.

BUT if you’re a woman you’ll probably find the writing overbearing and wrong.
(Straight?) Men writing women characters is an interesting dynamic because they don’t fully capture the right vibes and you really have to suspend belief.
That’s easier to do in a movie and not a 9 hour audiobook where you’re thinking about how “soft” a woman really would be 3 years into an apocalypse.

The dialogue between the two main love interests was hard to listen to. The lead character, Allie, being the most “all over the place” depending on the gender of who she’s with (I’m trying not to drop spoilers).

Anyway, listen at your own risk!
