The Beast of Kane

by Cliff Twemlow

When the Gordon family open their door to a stray elk-hound, they unwittingly welcome in the forces of evil. For according to the local priest, the huge dog is Satan himself, fulfilling an ancient prophecy.

But no one will believe this warning... Even when sheep—and wolves—are mysteriously slaughtered. Even when frenzied pets turn on their owners. Even when Emily Forrest is savagely eaten alive—the first of many human victims.

As winter tightens its icy grip on the remote town of Kane, its unprotected people must face an unearthly terror.

I thought it was OK. I did not know there was a dog breed called Elk hound. I remember thinking that the cover was better than the story. My expectations did not match the really scary cover. Then again I am probably comparing it to Cujo. Perhaps I should have read The Beast Of Kane first.🐯👍

One of the worst novels I've ever read. Leave it in the "bargain" bin where it belongs.

This wasn't a really bad book but it wasn't brilliant either. It was a solid read even if the plot was a little shifty in places. It wasn't a very scary book for a horror novel but it did have a few moments where you were you were wondering if the dog was really Satan or not.
