In this modern version of Sleeping Beauty, Brendan is fascinated by the house on Willow Avenue, and by the story the mysterious school nurse tells him of the girl trapped within--but though he manages to free the Sova family, the enchantment still lingers, even onto the next generation.

Now in paperback--the internationally acclaimed psychological thriller from Governor General's Award nominee Allan Stratton. Cameron and his mom have been on the run for five years. His father is hunting them--or at least that's what Cameron's been told. When they settle into an isolated farmhouse, Cameron soon finds himself embroiled in the unsolved mystery of a woman and child who disappeared decades ago, and he starts to hear and see things that just aren't possible. What's hiding in the night? What's buried in the past? Are there dark secrets to uncover, or is Cameron's own mind playing tricks on him? In The Dogs, acclaimed author Allan Stratton manages to deliver at once a page-turning thriller and a powerful exploration of the realities of domestic violence and its after-effects.
