Description
Set in a near-future America, The Book of Dog by Lark Benobi is the story of how six unlikely women save humanity from the brink
It’s the night of the Yellow Puff-Ball Mushroom Cloud and a mysterious yellow fog is making its way across America, sowing chaos in its path. The White House is under attack by giant bears, the President is missing, and the Vice President has turned into a Bichon Frise. Soon the Beast will rise. And six women must make the perilous journey to the Pit of Nethalem, where they will stop the Apocalypse, or die trying.
The Book of Dog is a tale of politics, religion, demon possession, motherhood, love, betrayal, and easygoing bestiality. A ridiculously plausible story set in a near future America, it wryly explores how even the most insignificant of people, when working together, can change the world.

"Benobi’s story offers wonderfully surreal moments rich with metaphor...

"Lark Benobi unabashedly takes on modern politics in all its bestial madness in The Book of Dog, celebrating the joys of womanhood, diversity, and the wonders of nature....The story, which begins in verse, flows effortlessly with concise writing and comedic lyricism...The book’s simple, childlike sketches are interspersed between chapters and add to the fantastical ambiance...The Book of Dog may be a crazy kitchen-sink satire of modern politics, but it is also a triumphant tale about marginalized people who work together to effect the greater good." -- Foreword Reviews
