Beasts Of England
Adam Biles
Adam Biles takes us back to Orwell's Manor Farm, now being run for profit as a small petting zoo. But something is rotten in the heart of this capitalist haven... Beasts of England is an uproarious and scathing satire on modern Britain, and anywhere else politics has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Buy it now and stop totalitarianism forever.
Manor Farm has reinvented itself as the South of England's premium petting zoo. Now, instead of a working farm, humans and beasts alike are invited (for a small fee) to come and stroke, fondle, and take rides on the farm's inhabitants. But life is not a bed of roses for the animals, in spite of what their leaders may want them to believe. Elections are rigged, the community is beset by factions, and sacred mottos are being constantly updated. The Farm is descending into chaos. What's more, a mysterious 'illness' has started ripping through the animals, killing them one by one... In Beasts of England, Adam Biles honours, updates and subverts George Orwell's classic, all the while channelling the chaotic, fragmentary nature of populist politics in the Internet age into a savage farmyard satire.
