Description

Long out of print, Lemire's Xeric-Award-winning debut returns in a remastered edition, soaked with blood and ink. Though only 104 pages, it's an emotional millstone nonetheless, a mythic yarn about a family man who's larger than life... but even he may not be powerful enough to prevent the loss of everything he's ever known.
Bold, brutal, and emotionally raw, Lost Dogs represents an acclaimed storyteller's first professional work—an early exhibition of the gifts that have made Lemire's Essex County, Sweet Tooth, and Descender so phenomenally popular.
