therworldly stories featuring animal protagonists. These tales aren't cutesy, nor are they gratuitously sentimental. The animals herein are very humanlike, and the humans tend to behave rather beastly. This surreal anthology includes stories by Cindy El, Reggie Peralta, Frida Jauregui, Alisa Von Schimmelmann, Ian Reafsnyder, and J. Martin Strangeweather.
