Rats! For a while now, you've been looking through this site for something interesting to read, but everything looks similar to something you've already read. But now you have chanced upon something unusual, something of the sort you have certainly never read before. Here is a collection of stories, poems, memoirs, and religious texts inspired by rats. That's right. It's all about rats! In this unusual volume, you will find rat poetry written in Shakespearean style, science fiction stories about rats, philosophical speculation about the spiritual nature of the rat, and even a step-by-step guide on how to harness "The Power of the Rat" through meditation to get what you want in life. Imagine the audacity of it all! Interspersed between these gems of experimental rat literature are color photos and a journal of the author's Ukrainian rats, which is where he lives with them even as you read this. Whether you love, like, or hate rats, after reading this volume, you may never again see these intelligent creatures in the same way. And if you really get into this book and want more, check out the sequels "Eyes Like Black Pearls" and "Seasons of the Rat."
