[A] deservedly award-studded delight  Strong Words Magazine ‘A smart, scathing and bleakly funny cross of folk horror, satire and historical fiction’  Toronto Star  ‘Reads like a modern fairy tale’ New York Journal of Books   'Eerie and sensual' The Guardian 'So original, so beautifully done, and sinister and savage.

I didn’t want it to end' Chris Whitaker Franck and Lise, a French couple in the film industry, rent a cottage in the quiet hills of the French Lot to get away from the stresses of modern life. In this remote corner of the world, there is no phone signal.

A mysterious dog emerges, looking for a new master. Ghosts of a dark past run wild in these hills, where a German lion tamer took refuge in the First World War … Franck and Lise are confronted with nature at its most brutal. And they are about to discover that man and beast have more in common than they think.  A literary sensation in France, Wild Dog is a dark, menacing tale of isolation, human nature and the infinite savagery of the wild.
