Dense with detail, it is infused with humor and a light touch. Duggan has taken an unlikely subject, and, through a ferocious combination of scholarly obsession and deft writing, turned it into that rarest of breeds: a book which teaches you things you didn’t know you wanted to learn.”—Alexandra Horowitz, author of Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know and The Year of the Puppy: How Dogs Become Themselves “Brian Duggan knows that there are no bad dogs, but there are evil ones. With the loving paw of a dog fancier and popular culture maven, this meaty survey covers everything Black Dog, including the Gabriel Hounds of the Wild Hunt, the Japanese Okuri-inu (devouring those who stray off forest paths), bad-to-the-bone beasts in China, India, Mesopotamia, and beyond. Horror Dogs counts down a hundred and twenty-eight films starring sixteen not-so-sweet breeds of Man’s Best Fiend and concludes with a moving tribute to a good Saluki. My supremely evil Corgi and I devoured it.”—Nancy Holder, New York Times bestselling author, recipient of the Horror Writers Association Lifetime Achievement Award “A delightful example of the results of careful research… A splendid filmography, written by someone who obviously loves both dogs and movies… The book is entertaining and instructive, and recommended.”—Spermaceti Press Brian Duggan's Horror Dogs is, quite honestly, a marvel.
