This collection comprises many of Thompson's previously published short stories and poems about animals inhabiting a once abandoned house. Rather than focusing on only the more appealing critters, Thompson also includes tales from the perspectives of maggots, rats, fleas, etc. The stories (some with gross details) will satisfy various types of animal lovers.
