Description

In a barren and ransacked backyard, a dog named Simon lives with his two best friends: a raccoon and a deer. The unlikely gang spend their days looting and waiting for the return of the hallowed 'garbage night' - but week after week, the bins remain empty. When the gang are told of the 'other town', where humans are rumoured to live, the trio set off into the unknown. On their journey, the trio encounter a collective of their fellow animals who have control and live in semi-chaotic harmony. It doesn't take long for them to settle into the community, but something isn't quite right about their new allies, and the mystery of Black Thistle Acres begins to unravel feelings, truths, and secrets from every side. The real question is, will they continue their mission to the city Or will someone get left behind

Reviews

A simple yet absorbing tale of friendship and survival in a postapocalyptic world. -- Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
Contemporary fiction is full of postapocalyptic stories, but Lee's sly comic, about animals left behind after humans disappear, stands apart. -- Booklist, STARRED REVIEW
Garbage Night has a playful design, great characterisation, and stunning colour work. The cute characters traverse through difficult scenarios, asking big questions along the way. It's a surprisingly deep, sweet read. -- Hailey Austin * The Slings & Arrows Graphic Novel Guide *
