Good Dogs

De: Brian Asman

Narrado por: Alex Picard, Erin deWard, Joe Hempel

The debut novel from viral horror sensation Brian Asman, Good Dogs is a heartfelt and harrowing story of survival, belonging, found family, and the lengths we’ll go to protect it.

No one ever said being a werewolf was easy. Take Delia, for instance. She’s spent much of her life fighting against her own nature, plagued by nightmares of childhood trauma, and trying to find her place in the world. Many werewolves are just like her: ostracized by their families, forced to live alone and in secret as they await those nights when the Change overtakes them.

Becoming the den mother to an odd bunch of lycanthropes in Southern California isn’t exactly the answer Delia was looking for. But under the strict rules of the house, they are able to manage the Change safely and hunt without endangering their San Diego suburb. And they aren’t lone wolves anymore, they’re a pack—a family.

But when one member’s carelessness leads to the discovery of a severed leg in their backyard, Delia and the rest of her family are forced to confront the cold, hard fact they’ve known all along—they don’t belong here. Their only option is to cover up the kill and head into the wilderness, far from people. There, hopefully, they can live out their lives without posing a threat to anyone else.

At home, they might’ve been apex predators. But in the wilds around Talbot—a town abandoned for a century—Delia and her pack aren’t the only ones with a savage bite …

People over fangs

Werewolves are my favorite of the old school monsters, so in contrast to what you may expect, I rarely read werewolf books, because they generally just don’t stand up for me how I want them to.

Not the case with Good Dogs. This one rules. I have some small quibbles but nothing really worth mentioning cause it’s such a personal preference thing, but Brian Asman can really write, and I’m glad I took a shot on this.

A recent favorite of mine was Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones, and while they’re very different stories, I think if you dug one, you’re gonna dig the other, as they are both werewolf stories that put a ton of focus on the person in the wolf-skin, not just the teeth and claws.

Mamma Bear is scary!

Really unique werewolf story that deserves praise. Great storyline! I couldn’t find myself liking any of the characters in this book..maybe that’s how the author meant it be. When they all stating dying, i didn’t react at all haha. Good book though!
