Feral Houses

[ellenkushner]

So I'm editing a new Bordertown story that uses the phrase "feral houses" a bunch of times in the opening pages - and I'm thinking, "Huh? Does this writer know what feral really means? Or is it possible it's a term from a B'town story that I've somehow missed reading?"

Enter: The Internet! I google "feral houses" and find page after page . . . most referring back to these amazing photos of feral houses in Detroit by James D. Griffieon.

My esteemed colleague ariberk then sent me this awetastic link to entire abandoned town, orphanages, roads, etc: Abandoned Place in the World -- omg, it is PURE BORDERLANDS!

Wow! Both poignant and inspirational. I think I shall have to incorporate one of those feral houses into my current WIP. Thanks! (Wanders off with imagination whirring.)
