Description
Asher Black is one of—if not the best thieves in the town of Majestic Forest. He’s also a squirrel. Compelled to lead a group of hench-critters to an old house said to contain a vast store of acorns in the attic, Asher discovers the job isn’t as simple as he thought. The heist quickly goes wrong, as they learn that the owner was a hoarder, and soon towering piles of old newspapers, puddles of sewage, and the house’s animal inhabitants—a mix of pets, strays, and wildlife—who all worship a Death God, all stand in the way Asher’s bushy-tailed crew and freedom. Will Asher and the others escape with their tails—and minds—intact? Originally serialized in Cosmic Horror Monthly, Patrick Barb’s talking animal-crime-cosmic horror novella is collected here for the first time in a revised and updated edition with illustrations by J.C. Amberlyn. In addition, a brand-new prequel novelette “The Acorn Run” presents a down-and-dirty squirrel crime origin for the nuts that give the infamous Nut House its name.
