Hollow Kingdom

Author: Kira Jane Buxton

Publisher: USA : Grand Central Publishing, 2019

In the mood for an apocalypse with a potty-mouthed crow and his animal kind? Look no further. Set in Seattle, quirky pet crow S.T. without warning notices his human owner, Big Jim, lost an eyeball. Failing to rectify his ailment, quick-witted S.T. concludes he must wander the unknown, big bad world alongside his loyal-but-dim-witted-companion, doggo Dennis. S.T. learns there's a zombie apocalypse and the future of humanity's existence is in peril. As he identifies more with humans than crows, S.T. becomes intent on saving humanity. 

'Hollow Kingdom', nominated for the 2020 Thurber Prize for American Humor Finalists, blends humour, sci-fi, fantasy and horror. Buxton's love of nature shines through as she points to human-animal relationships and environmental degradation. It's 'The Secret Life of Pets' combined with 'The Walking Dead'.

Available as: paperback, hardback, ebook, audiobook and audio CD.
