Xolo: A Novel of Canine Horror
(
Print
by Peter Hurd (Horror)
Author "Stephen King's Cujo meets Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds." -BlueInk Reviews
Nature-loving real estate agent Derek Rains is given a priceless gift by his wannabe business-partner Hector: a Xolo, the ancient dog of the Aztecs, believed to have powers connected to the underworld.
When the dog attacks his son, however, Derek is forced to abandon the animal in the woods, where it is quickly taken in by a dog-fighting operation run by Hector. Seeing others of its own kind tortured by humans, the Xolo uses its power to unite the dogs, starting an uprising against the humans.
Soon the pack is on a killing spree across the Colorado countryside, killing humans and adding their dogs to the pack. Hector is the only one who knows that Derek's dog started all this trouble, and blackmails him with silence in exchange for a prime property Derek owns.
But when his son almost becomes the dog's next victim, Derek must team up with the local sheriff and a plucky animal control officer in order to stop the evil for good.
"With its foreboding atmosphere and sharp tension... this highly recommended tale of canine horror can potentially become a classic." -Readers Favorite.
