In the remote desert town of Lafontaine, Casey Prentice has been trying to survive the endtimes by keeping her head down, refusing to give a damn about anyone except her younger sister Emily and wingman Malice Hiroyama. But that ceases to be an option when a powerful and mysterious entity known as the Anastasian League descends on the town.
Casey uncharacteristically, and unwisely, offers shelter to Pax, one of the League’s escaping prisoners. In doing so, she invites a whole new kind of danger into her life. Because the town of Lafontaine has a secret . . . and if the League discovers it, then the apocalypse will be the least of Casey’s worries.

" This story is brilliant, dark, so dark, but also hilarious. You can read—or, even better, listen to--Rabbits of the Apocalypse for the enjoyment factor alone or use it to entertain your brain cogs. Either way, if you’re into speculative fiction and love a cynical MC, look no further." — Jude in the Stars
"This book is weird and I say this in the most appreciative way. The weird (but justified) title, crazy situations and quirky characters, make it a hilarious read. But beyond the easy laughs, funny one-liners, and bewildering moments, the reader can appreciate and identify with, the human condition and the consequences of people’s actions. It makes for a thought-provoking read with an unexpected turn of events that you won’t see coming." — LezReviewBooks.com
“Benny Lawrence is brilliant. She writes beautifully, her witticisms are appreciated and her unique take on things is refreshing. She doesn’t think outside of the box, she tears up the box, jumps on it and sets it on fire.”–The Lesbian Review
“There are so many reasons I like this story. First, the author has an awesome sense of humor and it comes through in her writing. The characters are well developed and believable. I’ll also be looking into Benny Lawrence’s other books in hopes of catching some more of her refreshing wit.”–Sarah’s Lesfic, Honest Reviews of Lesbian Fiction
“Filled with as much adventure and excitement as profanity and lustful looks, Rabbits of the Apocalypse is altogether wicked fun.”–Tabitha Beth, The Rainbow Hub

Benny Lawrence lives in Toronto, Canada, where she works as a lawyer while wondering just when in hell she grew up. Occasionally, she dons elaborate hats and sallies out after dark to solve crimes. There being no crimes lying around for her to solve, she mooches off home and eats cookies instead. She enjoys dead languages, not-dead cats, fizzy drinks, preparing for the apocalypse, and board games. She has been told that she takes her board games much too seriously. On a literature front, she is obsessed with mysteries, science fiction, and fantasy books, as long as they involve snappy dialogue and females who can deliver it.
