The Nearly Forgotten Xenofiction Masterpieces of Brian Carter
While the mythic anthropomorphism of Watership Down has inspired myriad authors over the prior half-century, in my estimation, only one among them has truly managed to venture beyond the narrative and thematic shadow cast by the lapine epic. In this video, we will explore the bibliography of one of the earliest and most radically inventive of Adam’s successors, one whose works time has largely, and unfairly, forgotten: Brian Carter.
Special thanks to Black Hill (István Csarnogurszky) for allowing me to use music from his albums, “Slumbering Winter,” “The Buffaloes Will Never Die,” and “Eclipse“ in this video:
as well as to FleetingEmber (Louise Goalby) for allowing me to use her piece “Silver Fox” in the thumbnail:
Note: Portions of this script originally appeared in my review, “A Black Fox Running by Brian Carter.”

And if you are interested in finding more xenofiction, my debut novel, Winter Without End, is now available for purchase from Fenris Publishing in both ebook and paperback format:
A post-apocalyptic story told through the eyes of a dog, Winter Without End follows a Labrador retriever who, after being abandoned by his human family in the aftermath of a devastating pandemic, makes an uneasy alliance with a wounded wolf in order to survive.
Additionally, two of my short stories, “Mark of the Stranger” and “The Merchant and the Martyr,” can be found in volumes 1 and 2 of our ongoing anthropomorphic historical fiction anthology, available here:
Volume 1 (“When the World Was Young”):
Volume 2 (“In the Light of the Dawn”):
