In an age when werewolves are villains, it’s difficult for Caninish people when most humans cannot distinguish the difference between dogs and wolves.Having just moved to Napa, California, Amir Hassan must endure the ignorance, racism, and bigotry hurled against his canine race— most particularly, the bullying threats and harassment from Tom Nuneviller, the son of a former U. S. congressman. Amir finds unexpected help in the unlikely form of Yonah Ben Amitay, a mysterious Jew who has weathered the tempests of bigotry and prejudice himself.
When push comes to shove, literally, Yonah offers to intervene and put an end to the bullying behavior. Perhaps the young men will bond over a fishing trip… and perhaps they will catch something more than the resolution to their differences.
It’s The Twilight Zone meets the prophet Jonah in this short read gaslamp fantasy, which is more than just a big fish story.
