Add to basketThe Animal Inside is a collection of thirteen strange and twisted stories that will take you for a walk along the fine line between insanity and reason, the peculiar and the prosaic, and the animal kingdom and human society, then leave you wondering where one ends and the other begins. These tales will confuse, amuse, shock, and intrigue, but they will also cause you to contemplate your very own animal inside.
Cleopatra's Mystery Box
Cleopatra's parents are out of town, so she has invited her boyfriend over. Will he play her game and put his hand in her mystery box?
The Church of Asag
Gary has arrived in the outback town of Isisford with his family to start a new job, but something's not quite right. What has happened to the church, and who is the townfolk's new god?
Old Mabel's Stray Cat
What dark secret does Old Mabel's stray cat hide, and how will she react when she learns it?
Veronica's Dogs
Two university professors discuss a spine-tingling case of species dysphoria. What could possibly shock a grown man so profoundly that he becomes a dog?
The Crows of Eildon Hill
For Brandon Donovan, some crimes are too cruel and personal to be forgiven. How will he go about exacting revenge and getting away with murder?
Lauren
When Alex meets Lauren in a stylish inner-city cocktail bar, he thinks all his Christmases have come at once, but is the sexy young student all she seems?
Milk
Chelsea Bishop can't produce enough milk for her insatiable baby, but feeding little George formula is out of the question. With money no obstacle, how will her husband procure a seemingly endless supply of fresh milk?
Horror at Hollow Head
There's a legend about Hollow Head - a tale of hidden treasure under the lighthouse - but will Kevin and Neil discover a more beastly truth?
Declan's Fantasy
Is Declan about to finally realise his deepest sexual fantasy, performing a specific act with a particular kind of woman in a paradisaical setting, or will his animal inside be left unsated?
Forgotten Falls
A German ghosthunter has come all the way to the subtropical forest of Queensland, but will he find what he's looking for? Phantoms are not always what they seem.
Animal
Dogs are at the heart of a dispute between neighbours in suburban Brisbane. When Chris grows increasingly hostile, Terry starts to feel concerned for the safety of his pregnant wife. But is another animal the cause of the conflict?
Like Sisters
Friends look out for each other like sisters, no matter what. So, when one is in danger and the other is a vet, there can be only one outcome.
It Starts with Insects
It started in the park, manipulating and torturing ants in a castle. That was only the beginning. The boy's next victim was to be a pig.
"This collection opens with “Cleopatra’s Mystery Box,” in which Cleopatra asks her lover to reach into her mystery box and tell her what he feels. She will reward him if he guesses correctly. The story is sexy, creepy and enthralling. And that’s just the beginning. This is a fascinating collection of creepy tales, sometimes dealing with animals like cats, crows or dogs, and sometimes dealing with the human animals. All the stories have an eerie touch and some have bizarre premises that Mr. Trost makes entirely believable. Some leave the reader with disturbing questions about life... it’s tough to choose a favorite, but I would go with “It Starts with Insects,” which opens with a young boy from a violent home analyzing the behavior of ants and beetles. Creepy."
