Zombie Dog #7
Midian Dog
The only thing destroying the small West Texas town of Midian more than a teenager's disappearance is his mysterious reappearance. People swear they've seen Sam Hartley, but he still can't be found. Now, everybody is to blame. When a private investigator is hired by the missing boy's mother, he has an unorthodox bring in a hunter of the undead.
The West Texans appreciate Angie Graves. She has a relatable working class attitude. Her undead-tracking dog, Murder, on the other hand, just weirds everyone out. Is he on drugs? Why does he drool all the time, and why does he keep staring at people like he's plotting their demise? But if this town is going to survive itself, Angie and Murder are going to have to do a lot of tracking, a lot of searching, and something they've never had to do before. They're going to have to solve this case.

About the author
Doug Goodman
35 books63 followersI live in Houston, but I was raised in Lubbock, Texas. I’m an animal writer. It doesn’t matter if the animals I write about are zombie-hunting dogs, dinosaurs, or giant kaiju monsters, I’m interested in that area where animals and humans intersect. I’m especially curious about the mind meld that happens with working animals. This is my point of view for examining human nature, and why I enjoy writing these books so much.
My site says I’m a writer and an explorer. My wife and I are “often” travelers. Thanks to my work, I sometimes get the opportunity to visit extraordinary people in out-of-the-way places. In recent years I’ve explored parts of the Navajo Nation, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and I did a mesmerizing 20-state roadtrip with my supportive family. I’ve been to all but four states in the United States.
I live with two awesome kids (though one is having her own adventures in college), one amazing wife, and two white German Shepherds. Thank you for stopping by, and please check out one of my books. (They are all available from Amazon as paperbacks and e-books.) Since mid-2019, I’ve been donating twenty percent of my proceeds to charity.

Angie and Murder travel to Texas to help find a missing teenager. However what they do find is weird AF. That is the only thing I can describe it as and how it came to be is also weird and creepy AF. It fits because the whole town is a little odd. If it were me after the first weird thing, I would have packed up my suitcase and my dog and got the hell out of dodge. With that being said, what should have been an attention grabbing masterpiece turned out to be a ho hum drag fest that read like a first draft. The transitions between paragraphs felt odd and conversations between characters had a weird vibe to it as well. The whole novel just felt off somehow. I do love the series and it won't stop me from reading the rest.

West Texas
I've been through west Texas a couple of times. It's just like the cover shows and the story tells it. Angie and Murder still work like the pros they are, but there's something off about this search. When they finally track the zombie down it is a whole new experience. I hope you enjoy reading this book. Doug Goodman knows how to immerse you in this strange and dangerous world.

Hey, go check out Doug Goodman’s fantastic book MIDIAN DOG. This horror flavored, western inspired mystery novel is technically the 7th book in his intriguing Zombie Dog series (dog that hunts zombies, not dogs that are zombies), but it stands very solidly in its own and I had a blast reading it. Fast-paced, smart, and full of well-drawn and quirky characters. Extra points if you’re a dog lover!

Book made no sense at all the worst book I ever read. Would not recommend this to my worst enemy.
Could not make heads or tales of this poorly written piece of terrible writing, I don't know what the author was on when he wrote this piece of garbage. But he should get help.
