Reading: Feral Creatures
I recently got my library card- something I'd been meaning to do and then a pandemic happened and I forgot that I wanted to get a library card until now. I decided to pick up two books on a whim, one a been-meaning to, and the other just something that caught my eye. Kira Jane Buxton's Feral Creatures seemed like a natural choice for me as I always have a soft spot for talking animal stories, especially if they're satirical and aimed at adults. The book cover design is quite pretty too. I've often felt contemporary publishing trends are lackluster so it's always a bonus to see a lovely cover. That old adage about not judging books by their covers can kiss my ass, I love seeing a beautiful illustration or at least some slick stylish design-work to pull me in. The book tells the story of the last human being on earth and the animals taking care of her. A strange plague has swept the world, mutating all human beings into monstrous and lethal abominations
