Don't Eat the Hare Before Breakfast: An Absurd Dark Comedy

By Alexander Graeme

All the pigs are dead. Thursdays have been abolished. It is illegal to sing on Tuesdays.

Welcome to an absurd comedy of humiliation, obsession, and very poor decisions.

Raymond is a vain, drunken disaster with strong opinions, weak judgement, and no interest in self-improvement. After a breakup throws his life off course, he stumbles into a series of increasingly deranged events involving failed employment, gangsters, police attention, and a new relationship that seems equal parts seduction and psychological experiment.

Told in a biting, darkly comic voice, Don't Eat the Hare Before Breakfast is an absurdist novel full of awkward menace, obsession, strange social rituals, and the uneasy sense that Raymond is being watched more closely than he realises. As he moves from one disaster to the next, things grow stranger, darker, and far more dangerous than he realises, eventually leading him to his livingroom floor, a rabbit, and a scene he really should have seen coming.

Perfect for readers who enjoy bleak, bizarre comedy, social discomfort, and stories that keep you asking, "How could this possibly get more deranged?" before immediately getting more deranged.
