Příběh o muži, který nenávidí lidi, a aby jim škodil, vycvičí si krysy...
Stephen Gilbert se ve svých dílech zabýval temnými zákoutími lidské psychiky a hledáním identity. Jeho próza se vyznačuje jedinečnou atmosférou, která často balancuje mezi realitou a fantazií, a zkoumá složité vztahy mezi postavami. Gilbertův styl je precizní a evokativní, často se zaměřuje na témata samoty, odloučení a snahy o porozumění světu kolem sebe. Jeho literární odkaz spočívá v odvážném zkoumání méně probádaných oblastí lidské zkušenosti.
