The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse by Robert Rankin is a candy-coated rollercoaster ride through a world where your childhood nursery rhymes have grown up, gone rogue, and are now on the wrong side of the law.
Imagine Toyland, but with a dark twist, Jack’s no longer just climbing beanstalks; he’s climbing the social ladder as a ruthless tycoon, while Humpty Dumpty’s great fall wasn’t exactly an accident.
When toys start turning up murdered, it’s up to a young lad named Jack (not the beanstalk guy, another one) and his boozy, wisecracking teddy bear sidekick, Eddie, to crack the case. But beware: this isn’t your typical bedtime story, it’s a sugar-fueled adventure where the chocolate is deadly, the laughs are dark, and the fate of Toy City hangs in the balance. So, grab your detective hat and a snack (just not the hollow chocolate bunnies), and prepare for a tale that’s as bizarre as it is bonkers.
