Product Description
A zoo worker thinks of the grim stories his co-workers have told him about their lives. Giraffes in another zoo demand better living conditions and stage a mock suicide to attract public notice. These darkly, comic stories about animals hold up a disturbing mirror to the humans around them.

'What is most impressive is her understanding of human loneliness. These stories resonate with one mournful grace-note after another'
Customer Reviews
Not for animal lovers!
With this collection of eleven stories Tinti has set out to play chilling mind games with her readers and she has certainly succeeded. These are out and out shock horrors and extremely imaginatively written. Each tale is weirdly wonderful but grotesque and will chill you to the bone. Unbalanced adults and children feature in these disturbing tales and will cause you to wonder how well you really know the people around you. Hints of Animal Farm, Dr Dolittle and Life of Pi litter these stories, but take heed - they are not to be recommended to animal lovers!
