A Girl Dog's Breakfast

A Girl Dog’s Breakfast is a collection of dark short stories and short light poems written as catharses. Christina Crowe’s abusive ex has not been treated kindly. She claims you’ll never spot him, so suggests you not bother trying. “Although,” she adds with a sly grin. “Any character with blue eyes is suspect.”

"There is nothing 'cute' about this book. The poems and short stories in this collection appeal to those young adults who enjoy edgy images and twisted plot lines. Christina Crowe emulates Stephen King, presenting us with vampires, werewolves, zombies, monsters, genetically altered man-eating dogs, a voodoo witch, and an assortment of mentally deranged humans. The collection follows a poem-short story alternation format. Some of the poems serve as effective lead-ins for the story that follows. An enjoyable read." -- D Komangapik
