There are no easy solutions on offer, no shallow certainties, no simplistic binaries or contexts evacuated of complexity. Instead, \u003ci\u003eLove in a Time of Slaughters \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a learned and loving meditation on what it means to be in accountable kinship with the other-than-human world when those relations are so catastrophically imperiled.

The cruelty and violence that colonization inflicts on humans and animals, and their relationships to each other, is made very clear in McHugh’s handling of the novels and their subject matter. The analysis necessitates vital engagement with indigenous knowledges that should be better known within Animal Studies scholarship.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Fiona Probyn-Rapsey \u003ci\u003eAnimal Studies Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The book’s most original contribution is its triangulation of humans, animals, and gods.
