This whimsical story takes place at the once beautiful land called the rat kingdom. One day, an evil, wicked, power hungry rat took over the kingdom. The horrible ruler only cared about himself and not the hard working struggling rat people. The Rat King did nothing to stop a deadly plague that fell upon their kingdom. He only wanted more money and more power at any cost. The hard working rats were becoming very ill and even dying. They were losing their jobs, couldn't pay their rent, and were going hungry, all because the Rat King lied to them. He kept saying the plague was fake and would magically go away. He was wrong but he would not admit it. Fortunately, help was close at hand. A very bright, brave and caring elder rat stepped forward to save the kingdom. The elder rat challenged the evil Rat King for the top spot, and won. The evil Rat King was banished to a far, far away land where he can not harm the rat people or the kingdom ever again.

Danse is a four part, illustrated series by B.A.D., that depicts the wicked tale of its featured creature and the sinister journey of their life. Divided into the following - Rat, Crow, Spider, Toad - Danse takes the reader on a visual tour of darkness that has nestled itself into the heart of these despicable beings, whose stories have never been heard by human ears. The Rat King is the first legend in the Danse, a Dark Tale of Macabre series. Hated, loathed, and seen as lesser, rats have always been subjected to the condescending eye of the world as being inferior. However, much death and carnage shall come to follow the birth of one rat who repudiates such claims towards his existence. Under the self appointed title of "the Rat King", his infamy would come to singlehandedly fashion a new esteem for all his kin alike, and prove that not even the gods can snuff out a perilous soul. Written and illustrated by B.A.D., a Gothic art/Hatching style beautifully presents the grim story, with elegant borders framing each page in a unique display that often reflects the current significance of the plot.

At first, Joey is amazed by his new rat self. The city streets call to him at night. Smells that would have repelled him before are suddenly tantalizing. (A chicken bone? Yes! A squashed cockroach? Like perfume!) And wow, the freedom! But when a bout of hunger leads Joey to pull the spork from the scone, he finds himself at the center of a longtime rat prophecy. Joey has unwittingly unlocked the sword Ratscalibur; and now, it is up to him to protect his new rat friends from the evil crows who seek to destroy their peaceful kingdom. But what does an eleven-year-old know about actual swordplay? And what happens when Joey no longer wants to be a rat?
