Severance w/Phillip Fracassi

Hello Fermented Folks! Welcome to another episode of Fermented Fiction and thank you for tuning in! This week we discuss one of the most highly acclaimed shows of the streaming age in Severance. This show is Westworld meets the modern-day office and the corporate environment, which brings those social-sci-fi elements all the more to the forefront and pushes this into near horror genre territory.For this episode, we’ve once again managed to procure the perfect guest! I know… right? How do we keep coming up aces on this? Well, we managed that because of our wonderful relationship with the Tor Nightfire publicity team, so huge shoutout to them for booking Phillip Fracassi for us this week! Phillip is a screenwriter and author of television, film, novels, and short stories with a wide variety of successful and broadly distributed publications. I really enjoyed his book Boys in the Valley, and his new thriller The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre is hitting the shelves now to wide acclaim and excitment.But how will Phillip feel about the convoluted, tension-filled show that is Severance? How might the dice gods intervene? What will we be drinking and how ludicrous will our conversation become? You’ll have to listen in to find out. Psssstttt... have you liked, commented, subscribed, and shared? Well, don’t worry... It’s not too late! DO IT NOW!Also, have you checked out all of Phillip’s awesome stuff? You’ll need to do that as well, or frankly, you’re depriving yourself of some truly awesome writing.
