Description
Fiction. THE KILLER'S DOG by Gary Fincke, a collection of short stories, is the winner of the Elixir Press Fiction Award. Michael Czyzniejewski had this to say about it: "Gary Fincke has always displayed the knack for finding the unusual, the intrepid, and the serendipitous, rendering the mundane into the absurd, then vice versa just as effortlessly. The characters in these twelve stories uphold his traditions, be they headless circus freaks, Civil War reenactors, or a murderer's dog sitter, proving Fincke to be as consistently surprising and as he is consistent. THE KILLER'S DOG is another chapter in the career of one of our great storytellers, such a joy from the first page to the last."
