The Dog and the Bone

By Ian Kidd

The discovery of a human bone in their backyard changes the life of a young couple forever.

This dark short story could only have come from the warped mind behind "Ian's Gang", "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town", "Winniston High" and the erotic vampire horror "Bloodlust".

I grew up in South Yorkshire, England, before emigrating to South Australia at the age of sixteen. My writing ambitions began as a child, when I became notorious in my class for writing short horror stories that would probably have them calling in the child psychologists nowadays! I have written everything from non-fiction ebooks to published short fiction, and served as script editor on two proposed horror feature film scripts for an LA based director. In terms of fiction I have written dozens of novellas, including more than 70 stories in the "Ian's Gang" sci-fi adventure series. I still live in Queensland, where I work as a freelance writer.
