“What I love about Jon Nix as a writer is that he does not flinch. These stories are quietly stunning world-builders that are revelatory by the end, whether in the aftermath of a burst pipe or during a man’s bludgeoning. Nix writes with such concise clarity that when the violence and joy show up, you feel it in your guts.”
– James Croal Jackson, author of A God You Believed In
“Mesmerizing and immersive, Ferals is a portal into the complex specificity of working-class survival. We meet characters who are all at once enigmatic and familiar, abhorrent and also deeply sympathetic. Reading this was nothing short of an experience, dropping me into the thick heat of a Florida summer---rarely have I encountered such richly evocative and atmospheric writing. Nix is proving himself as one of the most compelling storytellers of our time.”
–Raechel Anne Jolie, author of Rust Belt Femme
“These stories are grimy and badass make me feel like nothing could ever possibly be good again. I love them.”
– Nick Gregorio, author of Launch Me to the Stars, I’m Finished Here
