📝 Description: Good Boy
"I bite, I shake, I pull and I tear. It's how I fight, and today it's how I die." The brain worm plague decimates the human population and destroys civilization. Infected small animals turn into bloodthirsty killing machines, feeding on other animal survivors. Led by an intrepid Jack Russell Terrier, a diverse fellowship of animal companions struggles to stay alive. When the safety of their lair is compromised, the motley pack embarks on a dangerous journey to find a new home. They soon learn infected squirrels, bats and skunks aren't the only threat in this horrifying new world. The spirit of classic animal adventures like Watership Down collides with survival horror in Good Boy from Thomas R Clark. This special fifth anniversary edition includes an all new foreword by Lisa Vasquez, and a dedication to Diego, the art model for the story's hero.

Thomas R Clark successfully merges the heartwarming camaraderie of Watership Down with the relentless dread of survival horror. By utilizing a Jack Russell Terrier as the lens for societal decay, the author creates a startlingly fresh take on the apocalypse genre. The narrative excels in depicting the motley pack’s struggle against bloodthirsty infected animals, balancing moments of tender fellowship with graphic violence. This approach suits readers who appreciate subverted expectations and those who enjoy horror that relies on atmospheric tension and psychological fear rather than just gore. It is a bold exploration of loyalty and survival in a world gone mad.
