The Dogs

Allan Stratton

This place is full of secrets. And they won't leave him alone.

When I look, it disappears. Wait. There it is again, at the cornfield.

Some movement, some thing.

Mom and I have been on the run for years. Every time he catches up with us, we move to a new place and start over.

But this place is different.

"Brilliant, page-turning, and eerie. Had me guessing to the very end." --Joseph Delaney, author of The Last Apprentice series

"It's about ghosts and terrifying danger and going mad all at once. I didn't know what was real and what was imagined until the very last page. I loved it!" --Melvin Burgess, Carnegie Medal and Guardian Prize winning author of Smack

Praise for this book

"A real page-turner... [The "Dogs"] stayed with me for days, author Allan Stratton having created an unsettled aura the likes of which Alfred Hitchcock and Stephen King routinely built into their work, too... Stratton's depiction of setting and characters is masterful, and his ability to create tension and keep readers on edge is equally strong." - Montreal Gazette
