Juniper

In "Juniper," the first installment of Ross Jeffery's trilogy, a post-apocalyptic American town grapples with drought and famine, compelling its inhabitants to rely on monstrous interbred cats for sustenance. When Janet Lehey's prized ginger tom, Bucky, goes missing, she and her unstable ex-con husband Klein embark on a frantic search. Meanwhile, an elderly woman named Betty Davis encounters a large, ginger creature beside the road and decides to take it home. This surreal tale blends dark humor with grotesque elements as it explores life on the fringes of reality in a forgotten town.
