Watership Down and The Plague Dogs share a central element in their confrontation with the frailty of life, and the inevitability of death. Here, I’ll be embarking on a critical examination of Richard Adams’ literary masterpieces and their brilliant animated adaptations.

And if you are interested in finding more xenofiction, my debut novel, Winter Without End, is now available for purchase from Fenris Publishing in both ebook and paperback format:

A post-apocalyptic story told through the eyes of a dog, Winter Without End follows a Labrador retriever who, after being abandoned by his human family in the aftermath of a devastating pandemic, makes an uneasy alliance with a wounded wolf in order to survive.
