The Cabbages of Doom — Richard Edwards

The Cabbages of Doom is a surreal science fiction/comic fantasy novella with some adult themes. It is inspired by the "far fetched fiction" of Robert Rankin and has a similar detachment from reality. The story contains some swearing and mild fantasy violence and may not be suitable for young children.

The Blurb:

For Cyril the Squirrel it was just another day. His main concern was the location of his nuts and the daily battle to avoid being eaten by something with nasty sharp bits and a taste for rodent. And then came The Cabbages of Doom.

Suddenly, Cyril found himself the key player in a struggle over time and space for his survival and the safety of those around him. Plus, if he's lucky, a bit of lovin' on the side. Take some marauding vegetables, add a menagerie of talking animals, then chuck in an army of chrome-plated midgets for good measure, and you have a story that will amuse, bemuse and/or confuse for as long as it takes to read it. Maybe more.
