How did beloved movie dogs become man-killers like Cujo and his cinematic pack-mates? For the first time, here is the fascinating history of canines in horror movies and why our best friends were (and are still) painted as malevolent. Stretching back into Classical mythology, treacherous hounds are found only sporadically in art and literature until the appearance of cinema's first horror dog, Sherlock Holmes' Hound of the Baskervilles. The story intensifies through World War II's K-9 Corps to the 1970s animal horror films, which broke social taboos about the "good dog" on screen and deliberately vilified certain breeds--sometimes even fluffy lapdogs. With behind-the-scenes insights from writers, directors, actors, and dog trainers, here are the flickering hounds of silent films through talkies and Technicolor, to the latest computer-generated brutes--the supernatural, rabid, laboratory-made, alien, feral, and trained killers. "Cave Canem (Beware the Dog)"--or as one seminal film warned, "They're not pets anymore."
Kaira Munroe, a New York Journalist for East Coast Traveler, arrives at Meadow Manor to attend her grandmother's Wake and a major announcement regarding forbidden history - the unveiling of a family secret that will change the face of her view of the Vatican and the world forever. As the Wake begins, Father Murphy introduces Alex Mirabelli, a Jesuit Priest and Astronomer. Kaira finds she is captivated as she awaits the unveiling of her grandmother's secret, which Kaira is beginning to realize will be more controversial than she could have dreamed. The beautiful wake is suddenly disrupted, and the revealing of the last wish of Kaira's grandmother, Victoria, teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Facing imminent danger from an invisible secret Order who think nothing of murder, Kaira is forced into a desperate escape. With her is Jonathan Bell, her high school sweetheart. Together Kaira and Jonathan flee on a perilous quest to unlock the ancient forbidden secret.
