Back in the day, Langdale's job could be summed up easily: solve every problem that has anything to do with animals. He had an official RSPCA brass plague outside his Yorkshire home. He was a local figure. Off duty? There was no such thing. People would knock on the door and present the Langdales with a litter of kittens, an injured owl, any kind of stray - foxes, badgers, young otters, hedgehogs. Some folk were genuinely concerned, some overconcerned, some saw a convenient way to rid themselves of an inconvenient animal. He never knew what might happen next. Some stories will make you laugh, and some will make you weep. But they are all told with great humour and sympathy. For any animal lover, this book is a feast.

"Black Rabbit & Other Stories" is a debut collection of great intensity and versatility. The stories range from the fantastic to the gritty, from urban dystopias to worlds of dreamlike possibility. Even in their frequent explorations of brutality, the author remains honest and true to the motivations of his characters and the machinations of the worlds in which they find themselves. These are sure-footed narratives that move with a pre-destined deliberation into a universe that is often fraught with desperation and apparent hopelessness; but, ultimately, we find ourselves on a path to redemption, an acceptance of what is, in the final analysis, an incomprehensible matrix. Existential and reflective, brutal and honest, these are stories that will leave you questioning the essence of existence, your own humanity, and the humanity of those around you. This is deft storytelling from a talented new voice.
