Dogs become human. Humans become dogs in stories of transformation, love, and horror across the species divide by the author of Alabama Gothics: Strange Tales from the South. Aliens from another dimension started it all, but these tales go to the heart of what it means to human on a planet shared with other species and to look at life through their eyes.

And there, too, their robot replacements are tested before being sold for mass consumption. Seventeen-year-old Nano Miller was born and bred on Dog Island, as were her two best friends, Jack and Wolf.

Whether the tale of Cain is true or not, humans have been employing technology since our beginning. As such, technology is nothing new. However, we ...
