Strong storytelling and character 'acting' seem to be Rachael Smith's thing. Really enjoyed how the heaviness of the story was lightened with good humour.

I bought this on a whim because I'm partial to dark and tender allegorical tales and it had a wonderful, signed, limited print inside. Sadly, both the story and the art inside were a bit more basic than I was expecting, and the quotes on the cover and inside were hyperbolic and left me extra disappointed. Maybe I didn't get it, or maybe it was just unmet expectations that tainted my enjoyment, but I wanted to like it way more than I did.

Still biting my nails. Creepy modern take on Alice in Wonderland, which I don't like, but I enjoyed this a lot!

The Rabbit is a very dark and twisted coming of age story. Eleanor and Kathy are two sisters running away from something. They find an injured rabbit and Kathy insists they help it, much to Eleanor's annoyance. The rabbit however begins to grow larger an larger and talk and demand things from them and then it gets very dark indeed.
It is surreal and strange but also very honest and real. It is a quick read but one which will leave you thinking about it long after you have put the book back on the shelf. I would not recommend reading it late at night though, as I did.
