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, bestselling author of The Claire Saga
That dystopian future they always warned us about? It turns out we're already in it.
What if some of the most decent people alive had been living right beneath your feet this whole time?
Hertell Daggett Junior runs a sunbaked pet cemetery on the outskirts of Bakersfield with copper specks in his brain, an accordion he can't play, and more questions than answers. His life is strange. It is about to get considerably stranger.
When something begins humming beneath the cracked earth of his property, Hertell uncovers the impossible: a sealed civilization, perfectly preserved since 1963, full of people who sing in harmony and have never once heard a politician say absolutely nothing, with total confidence.
But when they step into the sunlight for the first time in sixty years, the world above is not ready for them. The cameras arrive. Then the SWAT team. Then the government, embarrassed and outflanked at every turn, decides to solve the situation in the most aggressively bureaucratic way imaginable.
What follows is a wildly funny, surprisingly devastating collision between the world that was and the world that is.
Dog Logic is a satirical gut-punch dressed up as a comedy, sharp enough to draw blood and absurd enough to make you laugh doing it.
