FEED DROP | The Foxkey Chronicles: What Hides Beneath
from MERCY: A Queer Eldritch Western
CW: Violence & gore, demons, mentions of kidnapping.The next episode of MERCY is on its way soon! In the meantime, we'd love to introduce our friend of the show, The Foxkey Chronicles: What Hides Beneath by the brilliant Cole & Eleana Hill. If you're a fan of shows like MERCY and Old Gods of Appalachia, enjoy westerns, folk horror & mythologies, and damn good writing, check out this incredible (and blood curdling) episode from the Hill sisters. In this featured episode (Episode 9: Avarice and Apathy), we follow Montgomery Bernard. He is also known as the demon Avarice, staggered drunkenly through a narrow alley, satiated and uncaring for the world around him. He was power and greed, and lust, and everything horrid in the world, but tonight, the dark shadows of the world do not belong to him. For once, the hunter is hunted. And Montgomery Bernard is about to learn that even demons have reason to be afraid of the dark. Avarice was the first—a Whisper, born with the death of the mother and father. And Avarice…was afraid.TRANSCRIPT: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nyhJpdyIXTWPA3uUBRwjrrDuxTr0eYme/view?usp=sharingSHOW DESCRIPTION: In the old western town of Murkwood, Texas, children and their parents are turning up dead. In their absence, something stirs, a dark heart, filled with wretched intent. The Whispers, the bodies of those children, now possessed by demons, rise. The Foxkey Chronicles: What Hides Beneath descends into a world much like your own but different, where witches known as Foxkeys and Walkers are called to defend against demons that hunger for innocent blood. The Foxkey Chronicles: What Hides Beneath is the creation of twin sisters Cole Hill and Eleana Hil. They are a two-woman team that writes, performs, and produces every chilling episode themselves.
