Rabbits

Terry Miles

A parallel story to the podcast of the same name, this novel is an edge of your seat thrill ride through the worlds of a dark and mysterious alternate reality game. With a backdrop of pop culture references and vintage tech, cryptic clues are gathered and solved moving the game forward and as things begin to get scary, the boundaries between play, reality and possibility become blurred.

Extract

How do you play the game? Find the discrepancies, follow the clues; follow the clues and find the discrepancies. Playing is the easy part; what’s harder is knowing if you’re playing or not. There’s no entry fee, application form, or guidebook, and whoever’s in charge isn’t talking. So how do you know if you’re playing the game?

The good news is that if you’re playing Rabbits - actually playing the game, for better or worse - you’ll eventually know it. Something will be off. Something will be different. Something will be wrong. 

And everything will be dangerous.
