In this lyrical and speculative mosaic novel, enter the fractured worlds of an actress, playwright, and immortal poet, whose legend and influence create an energetic web, equal parts love triangle and haunted house of mirrors. At the bated edge of dream and revelation, spanning New York, Mexico, and a twilight Bardo realm, each of the characters—Viola, Evie and Arturo—undertake metamorphic journeys through the interior hinterlands of the psyche, in their quest for home and spiritual reckoning. Mythology, pop culture, cinema, theater, and sorcery dwell in the multi-chambered heart of the mutable narrative, which includes Joan of Arc, a teenage suicide cult, the Arcana of the Tarot, vaudeville remixes, shamanic alchemy, and a mystical radio whose bandwidth covers all of time, space and history.

What others are saying: John Biscello’s astonishing work, The Last Furies, is a vaudeville routine wrapped around a radio drama, tucked into a theater piece, bound by a screenplay, drawn into a rich and sprawling novel… – Louis Greenstein, author of The Song of Life and Mr. Boardwalk

What others are saying: The Last Furies invites you on a hallucinogenic trip, where immortal archetypes whirl through shifting masks in a dreamscape that is equally out of time and of our time. But don’t be fooled by the illusion of fragmentation: all is interconnected in this magical, unforgettable, and fearless fusion of experimental mediums—a feat only possible thanks to the storied and wild mind of John Biscello. – Johanna DeBiase, Author of Mama & the Hungry Hole and Gestation
