Welcome

When I was nine years old, I read a condensed version of The Birds. Scared the living heck out of me for weeks.

Good theme for a book, though, animals ganging up on humans. I always thought it would be great fun to write another book in the same vein, but with a less obvious animal adversary, such as cows or squirrels.

Growing older, I became more complacent about mankind's superiority over beast and fowl. And yet, a while back, my friend Brodi and I started exchanging links to articles about various animal-induced mayhem. It was funny for a while, but the frequency of such stories soon became unnerving. With this blog I want to collate such reports of animals taking the fight to the humans. Isolated incidents, or patterns in something larger?

The stories you are about to be linked to are all true.
