The Eddie Bear series takes Robert Rankin’s absurdism into a world where toys are alive and someone is murdering nursery rhyme characters. The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse (2002) — possibly Rankin’s best title — introduces Eddie Bear as a detective investigating crimes in this bizarre setting. The Toyminator (2006) continues the adventures.

The series mixes hardboiled detective fiction with the logic of a toy box, creating something that is simultaneously a mystery, a fantasy, and a comedy. The juxtaposition of noir conventions with living teddy bears is peak Rankin.
