The Dog Logic Triptych

"I laughed my tail off right up to the very last page, which I read in a local cemetery for just the right ambience. Hats off to you Tom Strelich." -Tom McCaffrey, author of The Claire Saga A razor-sharp satire about grief, delusion, and the fragile border between madness and revelation.Hertell Daggett used to be a physicist. He used to be married. He used to understand how the world worked.Then he was shot in the head.Microscopic flecks of copper remain lodged in his brain, and ever since, Hertell experiences reality differently. He hears patterns in chaos. He senses connections no one else seems to notice. Now he lives on the edge of Bakersfield as caretaker of a failing pet cemetery, trying to keep his thoughts-and his life-from unraveling.Until he uncovers something impossible beneath the hills he tends: a hidden community sealed underground since 1963, waiting out an apocalypse that never arrived.When their insulated world collides with modern America, Hertell becomes an unlikely guide through a culture as bewildering as any end-times prophecy. But as he helps them face the present, he must confront his own unfinished past-and decide whether his altered mind is a curse or a strange kind of clarity.Darkly comic and unexpectedly tender, Dog Logic is a bold, satirical exploration of belief, memory, and what it means to see the world differently.Book of the Year Winner - Humor/Satire - Independent Author NetworkBook Of The Year Silver Winner - Science Fiction - Foreword INDIESBronze Winner - Literary Fiction - Readers' Favorite
