There has been a delay in production for the next episode of MERCY (our sincerest apologies!!) and if the stars align, we are looking to release it in a couple of weeks.
Until then, we highly suggest checking out our next featured friend of the show, The Foxkey Chronicles: What Hides Beneath by the incredibly talented Cole & Eleana Hill (@thefoxkeychronicles)!
The Foxkey Chronicles is a beautiful queer western folk horror set in 1874, about the residences of Murkwood, Texas, and the enigmatic force that hunts and steals them into the night.
The show is centered around Vera Fowley née Foxkey and her cute-as-a-button baby daughter, Vera's brother-in-law (and official cinnamon roll) Felix Fowley, and a diverse cast of fascinating characters that all seem to have ties to Murkwood.
I was first drawn to Foxkey by the gorgeous writing (omg the writing) and the rich lore that the Hill sisters skillfully weave into the haunting narrative.
The characters are diverse, expertly fleshed out, and flawed yet likeable, and they are all voiced by Cole and Eleana (yes they voice ALL the characters!!). Cole and Eleana manage to capture the essence of each character so perfectly, I've never once had any issues with identifying who was who - in fact, I initially assumed there were other voice actors involved.
Foxkey is a rare 5-star show that is high quality in every aspect of production. It is a literary show that requires attention and careful listening, but it will have you in an iron-grip for each and every episode (expect immeasurable disappointment when you've realised you've caught up to the latest episode).
I think the most impressive thing about Foxkey is just how effortlessly atmospheric and haunting it is. It's the kind of show that burrows in deep and doesn't ever really let go.
If you're a fan of Old Gods of Appalachia (or MERCY), enjoy westerns, folk horror & mythologies, and damn damn good writing, check out Foxkey Chronicles at the links below.
The show is criminally underrated, so please spread the word if you enjoy it and make sure to leave a rating as well (ratings = visibility, so this is v important)!
