Black Dog - Matt Coleman - Bog

Most people thought the Great Depression was the end of the world. To one man, it was. Amos "Black Dog" Harlow, an aging hobo and failed bluesman with no prospects, no family, and no place to call to home, wanders the hellish backdrop of Dust Bowl America with a guitar on his back and a grim past on his shoulders, following a spectral black dog only he can see down the dimly-lit backroads and blighted byways of a forsaken land. The black dog is an ill omen, and death and sorrow its only promises. But Amos must follow, drawn by the dog into the thick of supernatural danger, battling horrors and facing down evil that has crawled out of the Depression's dark underbelly with nothing but his wits, his music, and a bit of folk magic. But there is an even greater shadow on the land. A dark killer with dark purpose strides the country, cutting a swath through the innocent and leaving a trail of blood in his wake. And if the serial killer the papers call Herod has his way, the world will drown in it. Amos must battle his own demons and find Herod before the killer can finish his task-literally bringing Hell to earth. Follow Amos and the black dog down the road to redemption in BLACK DOG: The Long Dark Road (2012) and the forthcoming BLACK DOG: Prophet in the Wilderness (2013).
