Welcome back to the wilderness - where healing is messy, animals have trauma, and every fable comes with teeth.
In A Few Feral Fables: Volume II, Lora Hardin returns with a collection of darkly funny, painfully honest animal stories about survival, shame, boundaries, grief, and the slow, stubborn work of becoming whole.
Inside, you'll meet the Turtle Who Missed the Race Entirely, the Dumpster Raccoon & Her Slimeball Shame, the Rabbit Who Jumped at Everything, the Otter Who Forgot How to Float, the Bee Who Forgot She Had a Stinger, the Fox Who Wasn't Fierce Enough - and several others who are doing their best in a world that never handed them a rulebook or even a safety net.
These are not children's stories.
They are fables for the feral-hearted - the ones who laugh at the wrong moments, freeze instead of fight, set boundaries late but fiercely, lose things that don't grow back, and yet they keep walking anyway.
Because some of us didn't get fairy tales.
We got survival stories.
And we learned how to tell them ourselves.
I laughed, I cried, I texted my therapist. Five stars. - A reader who thought they were emotionally stable.
It's like Aesop's Fables but written after three years of therapy, two relapses, one Spiritual Awakening, and a gallon of iced coffee. - An extremely caffeinated raccoon supporter.
Every story made me feel seen in ways I did not consent to but desperately needed. - Anonymous because they're still processing.
