Bad Dog

A standalone, adult horror novel. In the wake of his mother's death, Nelly drowns in the palms of his small religious town where folks believe wolves stalk the woods to punish selfish, godless men. At home, Nelly's resentful uncle keeps him on a tight leash while the townsfolk sing the man's praises as Deputy Sheriff. At night, Nelly sneaks out to catch glimpses of the new neighbor who has taken to feeding Nelly like a stray animal with the food he grows in his backyard. Deep down in his rotten red insides, Nelly knows he is a wolf.
