Saw this one on netgalley and requested a copy because I really enjoyed his book Man Fuck This House And I m so glad I did What a fun spin on the genre Delia is a werewolf though not in the sense that we ve been led to believe She wasn t bit or turned She has a genetic disorder that makes her susceptible to The Change She isn t a slave to the full moon But she does change on a regular cycle She leads a normal life as a human for most of the year but during those change cycles she has little to no memory of how she spends the nights as her wolf self Forced out of fear and a care for others she broke away from home and connected with other lycanthropes who like her are also ostracized and misunderstood. All good dogs go to heaven book As the unofficial den mother it becomes her responsibility to relocate the younger members of the clan when one of them breaks through the barrier of their isolated hunting grounds and kills a human They move to a ghost town their clan s founder purchased for just this type of crisis But as they settle in Delia and the others discover they are not the only ones there And the thing that is stalking them is ancient and out for revenge It s a creature feature slash found family horror novel with a whole lot of blood and gore and a ton of heart one where the werewolves are actually the good guys which made for a very unique reading experience There s tons of character backstory yes even for the monster and a great boss scene towards the end that kept me at the edge of my seat If you liked Glen Duncan s The Last Werewolf you will dig Good Dogs Brian s focus on the human side of the change is very similar and just as touching While they might not remember what they do each time they change their non wolf selves struggle with the guilt and shame of what they are unable to control You guys really This book is sooo good Horror Crime Science Fiction Thank you to NetGalley for providing a review copy If you only know Brian Asman from reading Man Fuck This House you are doing yourself a disservice The man can WRITE Good Dogs is my new favorite werewolf book It s an interesting take on the werewolf mythos emphasizing the importance of found family Dangers both supernatural and human abound with lots of tension and incredible action scenes Easy 5 stars Horror Crime Science Fiction Quite simply one of the best monster stories you ll ever read Good Dogs is a story sure to please both casual and hardcore horror fans In his visionary first novel Brian Asman transports his readers with an incantation of authentic characters genuine emotion and vivid clearly written action scenes The book uses a staggered chronology to strategically reveal twists that propel the narrative at an exponential rate toward the pulse pounding climax as a group of friends bonded over their shared curse are faced with an enemy even formidable than themselves Fans of Lyn I Kelly s Tracks and Max Brooks Devolution should consider this story essential reading. Book good dog carl A big thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the ARC Horror Crime Science Fiction Full review and podcast coverage coming Horror Crime Science Fiction This very quickly made its way into my heart And then into my gut my brain my soul Right from the beginning we are thrown into an unsettling situation one that really pulls at your heartstrings And then it cranks on your anxiety and twists in your gut as you watch because the imagery is spot on as things get creepier and horrifying I loved the POV we enter after the initial hell broke loose a relatable character in many ways I felt myself get hopefully for this character felt my heart break for this character and I thoroughly enjoyed it the whole way When a book pulls you in the way this one does it s hard to not become invested in the story Immersed in the story I ll be adding this one to my favorite werewolf story shelf post haste Horror Crime Science Fiction 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 any 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 Good DogsGOOD DOGS is a creature feature with one hell of a bite Asman has crafted a refreshing take on the werewolf narrative in this heartfelt horror character driven propulsive plot and found family at its core make this a fantastic first length novel for the author Although this is a werewolf book it is predominantly human in nature there is plethora of relatable and sincere moments as the wolves grapple with guilt and shame over the uncontrollable aspect of their nature For readers who appreciate flawed and idiosyncratic characters dysfunctional found family tropes unconventional heroes and the writing style of Stephen Graham Jones I highly recommend this Horror Crime Science Fiction Ha like I m going to see a book titled Good Dogs and not read it Unfortunately there are no frolicking golden retrievers or stubborn greyhounds who are refusing to eat their breakfast because they want parmesan cheese sprinkled on top in this one but fortunately it s still a pretty good story about some werewolves And okay so maybe my greyhound is the only one currently on a parmesan cheese related hunger strike but it would make a super intriguing and suspenseful novel I think hit me up for great ideas Brian Asman. Good dog leash Anyway for real though It isn t every day that you read a book where werewolves are the good guys but here we have it When Delia s pack is forced to make a new home in the isolated ghost town of Talbot they soon begin to suspect that they aren t as alone in the woods as they thought they d be Good Dogs is a bit of a slow burn at first the wolf pack doesn t even really come face to face with the monster who s stalking them until the final third ish of the book but I never found myself bored Almost all of the characters have interesting backstories including the monster and the flashbacks to previous encounters with the creature are well written and suspenseful There s also all kinds of drama going on within the pack which keeps the story moving along nicely When the monster finally makes her appearance however things get super messed up super quickly There s blood and gore and death and wolf humans running for their lives and it s definitely a nail biter Not that there s blood and gore only toward the end of the novel mind you this is not a book for the squeamish My only minor complaint is that while there s a lot about the why of the creature s century plus long rampage we don t really find out much about the how It s probably too much to ask of a book that s basically a creature feature in print form but I am so curious to know the mechanics behind everything My overall rating 3. Book good dog carl summary Many thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for providing me with an advance copy of this book to review Its expected publication date is October 1 2024 Horror Crime Science Fiction Informed by werewolf legend and folklore Brian Asman spins a beastly horrific tale of bloody reckoning found family and resurrected hope in his debut horror novel Good Dogs This creature feature is adapted to play out in ink instead of film so readers beware and trespass very carefully A monster is slumbering within the pages and should it be disturbed death itself will be on the hunt to sate a fathomless appetite for blood and vengeance Hirsch Naughton Joey Delia Emily and Linnae have all enjoyed a semi normal existence in the suburbs of Sandiego California but that illusion of normality is abruptly cleaved in two because of the conspicuous appearance of a severed human limb in the front yard of their shared home after a night out as their wolf selves With only snatches of memory to work with they all try to get a leg up HA on solving the murder mystery and covering up their crimes but they deduce that rapid evacuation may be the only viable solution to avoid detection and impending extermination Hirsch confesses to having thought about this possibility before and buying some abandoned property in Talbot for a suspiciously good price But Talbot California has none of their accustomed creature comforts It is haunted by the past isolated from the present and inhabited only by a rare person or creature The entire pack flees to this location in the hopes of starting over but they only succeed in stirring up danger in a wild and unforgiving place Something is monstrously wrong in Talbot and their survival will depend on embracing their animalistic instincts which they have doggedly tried to muzzle while living their domesticated lives I loved this book I m a sucker for slasher type horror which this book definitely delivers on The pacing is slower to begin with but things quickly start to heat up once that pesky leg makes an appearance I really adored the pack dynamics since it is basically a dysfunctional and clunky found family that can t stand each other but also can t live without one another so relatable I found it so interesting that the lycanthropy condition is a genetic mutation in the human genome not some infection from a bite or attack I kind of wanted information on that but that s just me being a mega science geek and a sci fi girlie Some of the sentence structure was a bit awkward but that detracts nothing from a thrilling story Delia was the star of the show in my opinion I loved her character growth and though she really struggled at times she never failed to rise to any challenge whether that be wrangling the unruly youngsters within her family or fighting literal monsters The werewolves are surprisingly good guys this time and I was cheering them on in their dog eat dog world I definitely recommend this book especially to Stephen Graham Jones or BROM readers and I will be looking out for books by this author Thank you so much Net Galley and Blackstone Publishing for the ARC and the opportunity to share what I think All opinions are my own Pub day is very aptly on OCTOBER 1st Horror Crime Science Fiction This started with such potential A story from the werewolves point of view and some very fun innovative ideas However it felt like they went from beasts to pups when trouble hits As the story progressed I lost connection with the story as it felt like too much unnecessary back story and internal thinking I found myself rolling my eyes and mumbling aloud to get the action going There were some great aspects of the book with characters and relationships that felt genuine a gripping opening scene and a unique take on the werewolf lore Horror Crime Science Fiction I love a good werewolf book and this one is full of the things I like about these creatures But it s also surprisingly human and in fact the werewolves here are not the most terrifying thing in this book A pack of werewolves live together in a home meant to harbor them Kind of a halfway house of sorts as they ve all had to come to terms with their affliction They are free to run and hunt when they turn but with safety measures in place They don t want to feast on humans during their cycles But one night their precautions aren t good enough and they change back to find a bloody stump of a leg Because of this they re forced to move to an old abandoned ghost town far far from civilization so they don t get caught But something else is in that town Something bigger stronger and hungry for violence and bloodshed With internal strife threatening their pack and the hunters becoming the hunted Crime Science Fiction
