👉 Mice Macabre is a surrealist, anthropological, and dreamlike novel by John Wyndham set in a strange, grotesquely transformed London during World War II, where the creatures of the city live amidst its ruins in unsettling ways. Its unnerving blend of grotesque imagery and existential dread captures the disquieting atmosphere of wartime London while exploring themes of death, decay, and the uncanny.
