Fur & Loathing

Fur and Loathing, coming soon from Brazen.

Author: Brazen

Its early December 2014, and at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, an unusual gathering is taking place. Its the final night of Midwest Furfest, the worlds largest convention for a subculture known as Furries. The party is in full swing when, just after midnight, attendees suddenly find themselves struggling to breathe. Something terrible has happened: poisonous levels of chlorine gas are sweeping through the hotel corridors. Nineteen people are hospitalized and hundreds are evacuated into the freezing cold, many still wearing their colorful anthropomorphic animal costumes, or fursuits. Hazmat teams trace the gas to a stairwell, where they find the remains of a chemical bomb. This was an intentional attack. But almost a decade later, the identity of the perpetrator remains a mystery. In Fur and Loathing, investigative reporter Nicky Woolf takes on the unsolved case, working closely with Furries to find answers. Its a journey that will bring him face-to-face with the challenges this vibrant, often misunderstood subculture faces including the far-right extremists looking to wreck the community from within. Fur and Loathing, coming soon from Brazen.
