About this title: Cameron Barnes has AIDS, many of his friends are dead, his lover leaves him, and all he wants is some peace and quiet, away from the storm, in a backwoods hamlet in upstate New York. But it turns out to be a haven for other gay men who crave a simpler life, and before he knows it he has friends and even a boyfriend. Then he hires two locals to do some repairs on his place, and things get messy. Kyle is a schemer with plans to cheat Cameron, but Jesse is a little more complicated, and in the course of the story several of the characters learn about aspects of life they hadn't bargained for.

"Paul Russell writes beautifully, no question about that. But his writing omits one essential element: the reader must affiliate with one (or more) of the characters and be sufficiently interested to follow their lives. In the case of War Against the Animals, upperclass PWA Cameron is set against two brother rednecks in a homophobic upstate NY town. Cameron is clueless about how to deal with the rednecks, and the rednecks are amateurs in taking advantage of Cameron. Bad Decisions all around. This would be delicious fare for a Creative Writing class to read, but fine though the writing is, the seriously flawed premises and plotting of the book undermine its wording skill. Recommended for those who value the precious and improbable in gay lit."
