Woof

A dystopian post-apocalyptic tale with talking dogs fighting to halt the end of the world

Praise for Charlot King's gripping dystopian futurism Woof, Book 1 of the Animal Tales series, about a post-apocalyptic where dogs are centre stage...Animal Tales series is a hidden gem.

"If you liked Okja on Netflix you will love this story. It is both heart-warming, and frighteningly plausible at the same time." Book review

"If you have ever read 'Fluke' by James Herbert, then you are forgiven for thinking that 'Woof' was going to be another lovely story of speaking dogs and their merry antics. That is where the likeness ends. Woof is a lot deeper and darker intermingled with laughter and joy and a little bit of sadness at times with a mixture of what the future might hold for the planet Earth. It is well worth reading." Amazon review

"I have never read anything like it. I felt so sad for the dogs, yet it has such an uplifting message of hope. Prepare for the read that you least expect, but takes you out of yourself for a few hours and you never quite feel the same again." Book reviewer

The plot - Set in the future, in a world of dogs, the editor of the magazine 'Woof', an Afghan Hound from New York called Brooke, is worried about her two-legger, Terry. They have left for North Norfolk to chase up a story about a dog festival, as it might be their last hope. But when they get there, things aren't what they seem. A pack of dogs are trapped, or, are they safe? If you like dystopian novels, with animals at the heart of the story, then Charlot King's futuristic science fiction might be one for you.

The Series - Animal Tales books can be read as stand alone novels. They all deal with how we perceive animals and animals place on the planet. And, what it means to exist.If you are looking for something way out there, then they may be for you. Animal tales are for people who already have a strong empathy for animals. Animals are centre stage in each one. To the extent that in Woof, dogs do all the talking. The series is dystopian but with hope intermingled. Dark but not bleak. They fit into themes like satire fiction, genetic engineering fiction, futurism, end of the world fiction, political fiction, animal rights fiction, technothrillers and a bit of metaphysical. Because they don't fit into one genre they are still a bit of a secret. Charlot King does not promote them, as she believes you either want to read them or you don't. Charlot writes a better know series which is completely different. But these books are close to her heart and mean a lot to her.

Readers of George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, George Bernard Shaw would love these books!
