Summary
'An eerie, hypnotic fable that captures the profound longing that unites us all' WIZ WHARTON
In a garden somewhere in London, Fox is watching a man called Ben through his kitchen doors.
What Ben has, Fox wants. Bi-folds. Crockery. Taps. A loving family, and a warm bed to sleep in at night.
Fox believes Ben to be careless of his riches - he's a distant father, a disinterested partner. Ben doesn't even notice when Fox begins stealing pieces of his life - the odd shoe, a colourful sock, various bits of cutlery.
And now he's had a taste, Fox wants more: to take over the entire house, and Ben's life with it.
Voyeuristic and haunting, Den is a strikingly original fever-dream of a novel about what it means to make - and keep - a life, perfect for fans of Fruit Fly and The Lamb.

Critic reviews
At once elegiac and elegant, spiky and tender, surreal and painfully familiar, Den is a moving meditation on the lives we choose and the selves we can't escape from.
Genuinely unsettling. From its original premise to the wonderful writing, Den is one of those novels you can't look away from.
Stunning, surreal, raw: Den is a tender, darkly comic story of grief, family and our basic need for shelter.
Tender, humorous and heartbreaking, this inventive new novel by Joe Evans introduces the reader to a side of London life that feels both instantly familiar and wondrously strange. A beautifully written, constantly surprising story about foxes (and humans).
Wonderfully strange and acutely observed. One of the most beautiful books I've read in a long time.
It's impossible to ignore this strange and beautiful book. An eerie, hypnotic fable that captures the profound longing that unites us all.
Both entirely familiar and utterly disorientating. I loved it.
A feverish tale of survival set within the wilderness of grief. If you let it,Denwill completely ensnare you.
