Good Boy

By Thomas Clark
Good Boy by Thomas Clark digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

"I bite, I shake, I pull and I tear. It's how I fight, and today it's how I die." The brain worm plague decimates the human population and destroys civilization. Infected small animals turn into bloodthirsty killing machines, feeding on other animal survivors. Led by an intrepid Jack Russell Terrier, a diverse fellowship of animal companions struggles to stay alive. When the safety of their lair is compromised, the motley pack embarks on a dangerous journey to find a new home. They soon learn infected squirrels, bats and skunks aren't the only threat in this horrifying new world. The spirit of classic animal adventures like Watership Down collides with survival horror in Good Boy from Thomas R Clark. This special fifth anniversary edition includes an all new foreword by Lisa Vasquez, and a dedication to Diego, the art model for the story's hero.

“I went in having an idea of what this book was going to be about. I got to talk to Tommy about it a little after expressing to him how much I dislike the zombie trope at this point. Good Boy is so much more than „animals turned into bloodthirsty killing machines”, as it states on the back of the book. This is a short story about survival, adventure, and a really good freaking boy. I don’t find myself emotional over books, ever, but I may or may not have shed a tear over this one (I am not willing to confirm nor deny this. Ragnarok will most likely tattle when we can get animals to talk). As an animal lover, I spent so much of my childhood reading the Redwall series, Warriors, and anything else where animals were the protagonist. If you were also that kid, you need to read Good Boy. Get ready for some heartbreak, too.”
“I officially hate Mr. Clark, read this book, and find out why! Also, my rabbit, Yuki, would like to have it known that she greatly resents the implication that dog food isn't appropriate nutrition for a rabbit, something she has fought me over for the past several years as she insists that it's really tasty and absolutely acceptable for her to consume. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be crying in my cat's fur.”
