Shuck's Rabbit Stories is a brilliant combination of fables mixed wildly together and tossed seemingly willy nilly onto the page. But blended with the elements of surprise and whimsy is a beautifully and carefully crafted set of stories that will leave you smiling. Rabbit and his friends will sneak into your heart and mind and snuggle down for a long stay.

[Karla Huebner]

These brief linked stories or chapters or poetic moments--call them what you will--follow a woman with a connection to the trickster Rabbit, who, sometimes alone and sometimes with other archetypal spirits, observes her in San Francisco, Oklahoma, London, and other locations. The pieces are an enjoyable read if one sets aside expectations of conventional western fictional forms and lets things flow along.

These short stories had me wondering what Rabbit would be up to next. Mischievous yet tender, and easy to love. Really sweet read.
