📝 Description: There's a Rhino Loose in the City
A mysterious Pacific island that isn't on any map. A government department that doesn't officially exist. And a scientific expedition that absolutely never should have happened. Dr Julia Wheeler and Dr Max Gibson lead a team into the unknown, and return to London with something enormous, dangerous, and classified far above their pay grade. When the creature escapes from a top-secret facility, tearing through steel, concrete, and anyone unlucky enough to be in its path, the city is thrown into chaos. Scotland Yard dispatches an oblivious detective inspector and a sharp-as-a-tack constable to crack the case: one blissfully unaware of what they're actually hunting, the other slowly realising the truth... and wishing he hadn't. Written as a love letter to gloriously cheesy 1980s creature-feature B-movies, self-aware, dry, proudly British, and inspired by that fan-favourite moment from the Video Nasty episode of Only Fools and Horses. There's A Rhino Loose In The City isn't a disaster... it's a calamity!

Perrin delivers a sharp, witty satire that captures the spirit of cheesy B-movies while maintaining a distinctively British voice. The contrast between the oblivious detective inspector and the horrified constable provides excellent comedic tension, grounding the absurd premise in relatable human reactions. The book excels at balancing genuine peril with dry humor, ensuring the stakes feel real without becoming oppressive. It is best suited for readers who enjoy horror that winks at its own tropes. Those seeking pure dread may find it too light, but fans of satirical fiction and monster movies will appreciate the clever execution and nostalgic callbacks.
