Blood Hound (2011)
“I’m not a big fan of science fiction, to be honest. Time travel, wormholes, pandimensional beings? None of that stuff appeals to me. But during the last summer holidays I had the distinct feeling that Graham and I really had slipped into a parallel universe. Not literally, of course. We hadn’t been abducted by aliens or anything. It was way weirder than that.
We’d landed on Planet Dog.
The break had only just begun, but Back to School window displays were already breeding in the shops like gerb...ils. Every time I went into town I got a horrible prickle of unease. The new school year was looming on the horizon like a mountain that had to be climbed. I did my best to ignore it: I was determined to have a long, lazy summer. My mum, Lili, is a gardener, so she was busy mowing people’s lawns and weeding their flower-beds. In theory this left me free to do whatever I liked – i.e. not very much at all. We were in the middle of a heatwave and I was planning to sleep late, eat ice cream and vegetate on a lounger in the garden.MoreLess
