The Legend of the Dogman by David C. Posthumus

 

Something dark and malevolent stalks the majestic Northwoods of Michigan, and each corpse sends a new wave of terror through the small town of LeRoy. Anthropology professor Jack Allen uncovers a pattern of strange encounters, disappearances, and unsolved murders that shake him to his core. The deeper Jack delves into the horror in the woods, the more his life falls apart around him. With his family and all of Northern Michigan hanging in the balance, Jack must find a way to stop the cycle or risk losing everything to the ultimate predator. Meet a new kind of monster in David C. Posthumus’s bone-chilling suspenseful thriller, The Legend of the Dogman! 

The legend of the Dogman goes back for centuries. Whether anyone believes in it or not it doesn't stop the sightings and carnage that occur in every year that ends in a seven.

The bodies are starting to pile up in LeRoy. Mutilated animals and massacred humans are being discovered at an alarming rate. Is there a crazed murderer on the loose or could there be a monster afoot?

Part family saga, part supernatural horror this chilling read kept me turning the pages late into the night. There were some spots were the pace was a little slow for my taste but I loved the whole family dynamic and how what happened with Jack as a child shaped the man he has become. Family is everything to him and he will need their help to deal with this threat. Who will survive the Legend of the Dogman?
