Selby Screams

Selby #3

by Duncan Ball

Selby, the talking dog, is back - by popular demand - and getting tangled up in more misadventures.

Selby is still trying to keep his amazing abilities a secret so the Trifles don't put him to work or, even worse, hand him over to scientists to be examined.

But he needs to speak out - or scream out - when the Beast of Bogusville comes after him, or he finds himself dangling dangerously in mid-air, or he comes face to face with a living, breathing Egyptian mummy. Gulp, yiiikes, what's this? The Trifles have a photo that proves Selby is no ordinary canine! His days of freedom could be numbered.

Bury your nose in this third collection of Selby adventures for some screamingly suspenseful stories about this popular pooch.

It was really funny. Got a bit scary. It was very good.

[Sean Harding · Rating 3 out of 5]

Third entry in Selby the talking dog series, and another collection of short tales about Selby, sometimes showing him as a suave dog, and other times as a doofus. Uneven for sure, but entertaining enough, if a little predictable after a while.

Never mind me, just age-regressing to a childhood comfort book during a menty-b.
