It's New Year's Eve, the holiday of forced fellowship, mandatory fun, and paper hats. While dining out with her husband and their friends, Kirshenbaum's protagonist - an acerbic, mordantly witty, and clinically depressed writer - fully unravels. Propelled by stand-up comic timing and rife with pinpoint insights, Kirshenbaum examines what it means to be unloved and loved, to succeed and fail, to be at once impervious and raw. Rabbits for Food shows how art can lead us out of - or into - the depths of disconsolate loneliness and piercing grief. 

Some places are older than the people who find them. Some secrets are worth keeping forever. When nine-year-old Pip Warren is sent to spend the summer at his grandmother's farm, he expects eight weeks of nothing. Instead, he finds a gap in a fence, a meadow that doesn't quite belong to the ordinary world, and a rabbit with one white ear who is waiting — very patiently — for exactly the right person to come along.

Rabbits of the Apocalypse is set in a not-too-distant future plagued with drought, human trafficking, rabid religious groups, and people who completely lack a sense of humor. What with all the hunger, chaos, sunstroke, landmines, and radiation, it's hard to get by, and harder still to get laid. In the remote desert town of Lafontaine, Casey Prentice has been trying to survive the endtimes by keeping her head down and refusing to give a damn about anyone except her younger sister Emily and wingman Malice Hiroyama. But then a powerful and mysterious entity descends on the town.
