"Peter Hurd's XOLO is a rip-roaring, action-packed, and delightfully gory horror story that positions man's best friend as humanity's deadliest enemy and has a lot of fun with the ensuing conflict. A true underdog in search of revenge tale (tail?), it offers danger, suspense, and a more than slight chance of rabies. If you thought Cujo had attitude, wait until you meet Xolo!" --Erin Britton, San Francisco Book Review"Powered by an unapologetically gory and violent narrative, breakneck pacing, and an innate understanding of horror tropes and expectations... the story has a cinematic vibe; it reads like a screenplay, moving from one memorable scene to the next... hardcore horror fans should find this blood-splattered novel highly satisfying: Stephen King's Cujo meets Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds." -Paul Allen, BlueInk Review "Fans of seminal works like Pet Sematary are certain to enjoy this updated twist on the animal horror subgenre. Peter Hurd holds nothing back in describing the capacity for violence in both humans and their canine compatriots in this novel, and it makes for compelling reading as the dog pack swells in numbers that would give any zombie novel a run for its money... the sharp, concise use of dialogue... helps move the plot forward at a brisk pace... the violent scenes were truly horrifying... I would certainly recommend Xolo to horror fans everywhere seeking a well-penned and highly creative, chilling tale." -K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite.Derek Rains, a nature-loving Colorado real estate developer, adopts a Xolo for his young family. These dogs were revered by the Aztecs as the guardians of the underworld. But when the animal bites his son, Derek is forced to abandon his new pet in the woods, where it is picked up by an underground dog-fighting ring. Horrified to see people forcing animals to kill each other, the Xolo taps into the ancient powers of its species to convince the other dogs to band together and kill their captors. Now free and wanting revenge on the humans who hurt and abandoned them, the dogs begin killing people who imprison their pets, growing the pack's ranks in the process. With the murders spreading across the county, the local sheriff's suspicions fall on Derek, whose pet was the only vicious animal in the area before these attacks.
