In an abandoned warehouse, detectives find the latest victim of a serial kill and a rookie goes underground to find the killer in a world of S&M, rubber, and dog-boys.
Quote: "The killer tags them just like they were pets. We think they might be runaways, street people, homeless or failed at life in some way. These are the itinerant workers, waiters in cheap dives, jitney drivers, hustlers. This gig must seem like heaven, playacting in costume, decent food," Arborghast said. A Tech held a veterinary scanner up against the deceased man's shoulder. It registered the number of a dog license. The name "Buddy" and a street address appeared."

Dave's note:
I've written stories with dog themes before and simply published them on my website. About a year ago, I came up with an idea for a murder mystery involving dog play and rubber. I wrote the story and found a suitably themed anthology. If Silent Fray and their parent publisher Horrified Press make other formats of the anthology available, I will update this post. Right now, there's only a POD book from Lulu.
