In this episode, we discuss chapters four to sixteen of Terry Miles’ Rabbits.
This week, we dive into the murky waters of creepypasta, break down the brilliant narrative trick that makes Rabbits work, remember Frodo atop Amon Hen, make a list of everything that is not everything that is not Rabbits, figure out the surprising timeline and K’s age, and celebrate the ancient, arcane magnificence of computers in the 1980s.
Next week, we continue with chapters seventeen to twenty-nine.
