Red Rover
Bedtime Story Noir. A fable of murder, betrayal and insanity told from the perspective of two household pets, Red Rover follows Goldie the dog and Medusa the cat as they follow the trail of an infant kidnapped by one of their own. What begins as a tale of deduction becomes a story of survival as Goldie and Medusa flee from a criminally violent dog catcher while pursuing a suspect list of savage predators. Was it the schizophrenic Great Pyrenees? The imprisoned python? Or the hive-mind warren of laboratory rabbits known only as The Oracle? Seen through the eyes of two animals at odds with both each other and the human world around them, Red Rover returns the reader to the darker corners of childhood, where anything is possible, and all creatures great and small pursue an agenda of good. . .or evil.

Houser had one of the standout stories for me back when I read Monstrous Affections, so I wanted to track down more of his work. This was the easiest for me to get my hands on, and I'm glad I did. While at times a bit too visceral for my stomach, I really enjoyed this dedicated to the theme take on your standard abduction/self discovery tale.
