Welcome to Teaser Tuesday hosted by Ambrosia @ The Purple Booker.
My Teaser for this week is from
The Dog
by Amy Cross
![The Dog by [Cross, Amy]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51ILd%2BY5tfL._SY346_.jpg)
Genre: Horror / Apocalypse
My Teaser from 17% in the eBook.
I don’t sleep during the night. Neither does Jon. He sits at the table, near the gun, while I stay out on the porch, watching the dark forest.
The whole world is so silent, it’s as if Jon and I are the only living things left.
I thought this would be an interesting change of pace for a zombie book. It’s told from Harry’s point of view. He’s Jon’s Jack Russell Terrier.

Synopsis
There will be many who witness the end of human civilization.
But few who live beyond the first day.
When Jon takes his dog Harry to a remote cabin for the week, he just wants to get away from the rest of the world. And then one morning, after finding that his phone is dead, Jon looks at the city in the distance and realizes that something seems very wrong.
All the power has gone out. At night, the city is completely dark. There are no planes in the sky, and when Jon drives to the nearest gas station, he finds a desolate and bloody scene. He refuses to believe that something truly awful has happened, however, until he spots a figure stumbling through the forest, heading ever closer.
Soon Jon is facing a desperate fight for survival. While he and his dog have been up at the cabin, the whole world has been struck by a huge, global catastrophe that has left billions dead. Can Jon and his dog survive, or are they doomed to suffer the same fate?
The Dog is a novel about the end of the world, told through the eyes of a dog who finds himself stuck at a remote cabin with only his owner for company.

Oh dear, I really avoid zombie books – way too creepy for me. I hope you enjoy it. Happy reading!
They’re not for everyone. I read a lot of them. LOL
Sounds like a creepy but solid read. I hope you’re enjoying the book!
Here’s my teaser for this week.
It’s pretty good so far.
Well, now if there is anything that could get my to try a zombie type book, one being told by a dog could be it. 🙂
LOL I might get you yet, Stormi!
I don’t generally like to read books from an animals viewpoint (although I do love animals). There are always exceptions though. This does sound like an interesting read, one that I might like. I look forward to reading your final thoughts on it.
I’m enjoying it. Kind of different and it’s fun when you come across that.
No zombies for me! But the intensity of that excerpt did tempt me. Sigh.
Here’s mine: “PRETTY LITTLE WORLD”
LOL Maybe someday……
I’m not too into zombie books but it does sound different. Here’s my link for teaser/intro: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-1ti
Zombies aren’t for everyone. Still don’t know quite why I like them so much. I think part of it is reading about group dynamics. How people react.
Zombies are no my thing. I’ve tried. I have! I hope you enjoy this one, which does have an interesting perspective!
It’s an acquired taste. LOL
Sounds like things are not going well! Great teaser and interesting book! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
Yep. And I have a feeling it’s all down hill from there.
Ok, this definitely sounds interesting. I don’t think I’ve seen many books where the dog was the narrator.
I’ve read a few and thought they were fun. Just read James Rollins first books in his new series, Tucker Wayne. His military dog, Kane, has his own parts and you get his thoughts. Really good.
Like the top one better and I do like the fact it’s told from the dogs perspective…something a bit different is a good thing.

I like the first cover better too. It’s what first caught my attention.
I own this book and I think it’s high time I read it. I like books told from the dog’s perspective (go figure) and The Art of Racing in the Rain remains one of my favorites. I think I like the new cover. The other one was so dark it was kind of hard to make it out exactly.
I thought you might have this one, Barb. I like the first cover the best too.
A good dystopian novel, right into my alley! thanks for sharing.
Yeah. That’s what I think too.
Huh. I like zombie apocalypse type stuff, but I never thought of having it told from the point of view of a dog. That’s definitely a different take! Hope you enjoy!
I read this collection, Bones Omnibus, by Mark Wheaton and I absolutely loved it. It’s apocalyptic stories with a dogs view, but each event is different. Not just zombies.
I don’t do well with animal stories, especially where the animal is in jeopardy. Hope you enjoy it though. Thanks for coming by my teaser.
I worry about that too. Used to not be able to watch movies because of it.
