Dogs of War, by Brad Convissar

A little while ago, I interviewed Brad Convissar about his 25,000 word stand alone novella, Dogs of War. I just realised I never got to post a review of the story, so here it is. Dogs of War is a horror story, the story of ghost dogs and a revenge they want to take on someone who's hurt – and killed – them. This is a most unusual story, and it actually grips you from the very start. I read it in one go, as I wanted to know the ending straight after reading the first page. I am not a dog person, but I loved the dogs in this story, which takes you to weird places… I won't say more, except that it's a great, unusual, quite brutal novella about justice, fate and reasons for living.

Here's a synopsis by Brad: "After divorcing his wife of two years, Gary Lettner thinks he has found the perfect house for himself and Molly, his eight-year-old dachshund. But when the throats of the dead begin to cry out in a voice that only Molly can hear, and when evidence of past atrocities committed in his new home begin to surface, Gary finds himself an unlikely participant in a brutal quest for vengeance."
