Banquet of the Beasts is an eco-thriller about the nature of power and the power of nature. Set on Scotland’s West Coast, it’s a darkly funny tale of food, love and resistance. Of running away and becoming something different.
​
Monday 8th April 2013, the day they told us that Margaret Thatcher had died. The same day a covert animal research laboratory is deliberately burnt down. There are just four survivors from the fire: Marek Dogovsky a badger who knows no fear, Logan the poet fox, a starling named Raven who can hear voices and Walinska the weasel. 
​
On the same day as Thatcher’s funeral, the mysterious Lynton Chilcoat launches a national chain of Nobler Age Foodbanks. It’s all part of a plan so grotesque, that it will take someone – or something – special to stop him.
