Now in paperback—the internationally acclaimed psychological thriller from Governor General’s Award nominee Allan Stratton.
Cameron and his mom have been on the run for five years. His father is hunting them. At least, that’s what Cameron’s been told.
When they settle in an isolated farmhouse, Cameron starts to see and hear things that aren’t possible. Soon he’s questioning everything he thought he knew — including his own sanity.
What’s hiding in the night? Buried in the past? Cameron must uncover the dark secrets before they tear him apart.
Praise for The Dogs:
“It’s about ghosts and terrifying danger and going mad all at once. I didn’t know what was real and what was imagined until the very last page. I loved it!” —Melvin Burgess, author of Carnegie Medal winner Junk
“In a novel both harrowing and hopeful, Stratton winds twin tales of abuse and hatred and madness.” —Gary Schmidt, author of Newbery Honor winner The Wednesday Wars
“Brilliant, fast-paced and eerie. It kept me guessing right to the end.”—Joseph Delaney, author of The Last Apprentice series
“It is increasingly rare to find genuine, convincing narratives that have us looking over our shoulders. The Dogs is such a narrative…What would it be like if the most frightening thing in your world lay at the heart of your own family? Stratton imagines this horror full and convincingly.” —Quill & Quire, starred review
