Shooting and Conservation magazine has just published a great review for Each Day A Small Victory in the September issue.

"Beatrix Potter meets the Kray Brothers – At last someone has had the guts – and there are plenty of guts spread about these pages – to tell it how it is in the countryside; kill or be killed. Death is unsentimental, bloody and inevitable. The day-to-day struggle for survival through the seasons is gripping and hugely entertaining. " Shooting and Conservation Magazine.

Each Day is Beautifully Illustrated by Oscar Grillo

Whilst Each Day A Small Victory is a novel for adults, and a dark one at that - after all it is Rural Noir - it is also illustrated with some wonderfully evocative images by Oscar Grillo.

About Each Day A Small Victory

“Pulp Fiction meets Wind in the Willows!” Rural Noir a new genre from Can of Worms:

Each Day a Small Victory contains dateline dispatches from what to passing motorists is a lay-by on an English country road but to the indigenous inhabitants is more like a war zone.

These monthly bulletins of a furred and fanged community describe how they survive with and on each other, recording the differing threats and triumphs that the year brings and the resilience, patience and humour required to get through it.

“All Quiet on the Western Front – with fur!”

Each Day a Small Victory portrays in unfettered language all the drama, beleaguered optimism, muttered jokes and clenched terror that inform the survival and otherwise of its wide cast of characters. Most of them looking over their shoulders. All of them on borrowed time.
How they manage to live alongside each other and how they do it right next to a busy and indifferent human world is a day to day struggle with an entirely different perspective to ours. It’s a struggle constructed of hope, chaos, violence and all kinds of surprises. Some of them pleasant. Most of them lethal.
