Description: "Dogwalker assembles its cast from society's misfits: the disabled and the blind, the hapless and the troubled, and all species of mutants - including a giant slug that almost breaks up a marriage, a preponderance of three-legged dogs, and a family of circus freaks who look remarkable like cats. Here, too, are hexes, voodoo, refrigerated dead puppies, and an unforgettable game involving a chainsaw.

The stories in Dogwalker are narrated with amazement at life's vicissitudes and an acceptance of its strangest circumstances."--BOOK JACKET.
