O knihe
Haunting, varied, and superbly written,
Dog Boy and Other Harrowing Tales is a collection of stories
immersed in the Gothic tradition yet told in a modern and
inventive way. At the end of the First World War, a group of
friends gather at a former Robber Baron estate on Eastern
Long Island, only to learn the house holds a monstrous
secret. In a Montana prison in 1988, a new dog training
program goes awry with horrifying results. A Parisian
cemetery in the mid-20th century is home to the ghosts of
two centuries of poets, artists, and composers, the specters
of a homeless woman's past, and the jolting reality of the
modern world. Knitting together the ordinary, the
extraordinary, and the supernatural, Dog Boy and Other
Harrowing Tales is a boldly imagined literary work by a
masterful new storyteller. "At a time when most authors of
contemporary literature seem obsessed with humor and shying
away from documenting the painful aspects of our existence,
Erica-Lynn Huberty [has written] a book of stories whose
immediate goal is not to entertain or humor us, but to
liberate us from this desire..." -Mohammed Naseehu Ali, author
of The Prophet of Zongo Street "... a distinctly American
investigation of the emotional corners into which people
retreat to pass their lives..." -Hilary Thayer Hamann, author
of Anthropology of an American Girl
