"Bad Boz"

by Alexander Lane

What Anna adopts isn’t a pet. It’s a purpose on four legs.
A short horror story that sinks its claws into the familiar and warps it beyond recognition: parasitic possession, shifting flesh and the dark loyalty of the not-quite-dog.

Anna just wanted to give a rescue dog a home. But some rescued animals are never truly tame. In a quiet English woodland, a chance meeting sets off something primal and unnatural. Boz may look like a shepherd-husky mix, but his origins lie deeper, in cages, in labs, in places that used to be countries. Bad Boz is folk horror for the post-biotech age: eerie, intimate and grotesquely plausible. Perfect for fans of Annihilation, The Thing and body horror that asks: what if you didn’t lose yourself, but gave yourself to something new?
