Hi all, I’m very excited because today marks the culmination of a journey I began in earnest in 2016: my debut novel, GOOD DOGS, is out now from Blackstone in audio, ebook and paperback.
Me with my baby
In GOOD DOGS, a dysfunctional pack of werewolves is forced to hide out in an abandoned Central California ghost town, but they’re not alone. This time, they are the prey! If you dig FRIDAY THE 13TH and THE HOWLING, you’ll love this, because it’s basically those 2 things mashed together. But it’s not all blood and guts (and fur). It’s about the families we’re born into and the families we find along the way. Discovering our place in the world. Learning how to live. I had so much fun writing this book and I’m very happy to share it with the world. I hope you check it out!
Where can you get this book, you might ask? Everywhere books are sold, I’m pleased to announce, but here are some handy links:
Signed Copies
Ebooks/Audio Books (Amazon)
Paperbacks (Indie Bookstores)
Praise for GOOD DOGS
"A fantastic and exceptionally original take on the werewolf story, with a lot of heart, and bite. Good Dogs by Brian Asman is his best work yet, a story about complex family structures, struggling to belong, and learning how to survive."
-- "Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Forgotten Sisters"
"Good Dogs combines thrilling action and paranormal horror with heart. Quite the read, indeed."
-- "Mercedes M. Yardley, Bram Stoker Award-winning author"
"Alpha author Brian Asman runs wild with Good Dogs, and you're right there in his pack, feeling the wind in your hair, the blood in your throat, the very meat in your mouth. This is a book you want to sink your teeth into and let the words bleed down your body, drenching yourself in its sun-kissed carnage."
-- "Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters"
"Asman's latest--a stunning debut novel--takes what you thought you knew about werewolves, turns it inside out, and tears its head off. An excellent, propulsive story with lots of sharp teeth and eldritch supernatural evil to boot. Once you start reading, the only thing that'll get you to put the book down is the rising of the full moon."
-- "Brian Evenson, ALA Award-winning author of Last Days"
"A found family of werewolves--found wolfpack?--pitted against something wayyy worse, Asman's Good Dogs is thrilling, funny, bloody, and a howling good time. Read it under the full moon!"
-- "Adam Cesare, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Clown in a Cornfield and Influencer"
"Rising like a full moon on Friday the 13th, Brian Asman brings bloody slasher mayhem to this western werewolf yarn. The thrill of the hunt is alive on every page, but it's the humanity of these good dogs that will keep your heart on a leash until the final paw print."
-- "Brian McAuley, author of Curse of the Reaper and Candy Cain Kills"
