Hell Hound (Paperbacks from Hell)

<p><em>''What are the possibilities of my strength? That is a thought I have never had before. What if some morning as the old woman stood at the head of the staircase she were suddenly to feel a weight thrusting against the back of her legs? What if she were to lunge forward, grasping at the air, striking her thin skull against the edge of a stair? What would become of me if she were found unmoving at the bottom of the stairway?''</em></p><p>Such are the thoughts of Baxter, a sociopathic bull terrier on the hunt for the perfect master, as he contemplates the demise of his first victim. The basis for the acclaimed 1989 film <em>Baxter</em>, Ken Greenhall''s utterly chilling and long-unobtainable <em>Hell Hound</em> (1977) has earned a reputation as a lost classic of horror fiction. This reissue includes a new introduction by Grady Hendrix.</p><p>''An unsung classic of the bizarre that ranks with <em>Crash </em>and<em> The Wasp Factory</em>.'' - <em>Fright.com<span>?</span></em></p
