The Litter

by Kevin R. Doyle

GENRE: Horror

BLURB:

 

They kept to the shadows so no one would know they existed, and preyed on the nameless who no one would miss. Where did they come from, and who was protecting them? In a city that had seen every kind of savagery, they were something new, something more than murderous. And one woman, who had thought she had lost everything there was to lose in life, would soon find that nothing could possibly prepare her for what would come when she entered their world.

EXCERPT:

 

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” Pam said.

 

“Still think it was a dog?” her partner asked.

 

“What else could it have been? It doesn’t take the ME over there to know that this guy’s been all chewed up.”

 

“What I’m getting at is it may not have been a single animal.”

 

“Come again? Are you thinking of a pack or something?”

 

“Well,” Gonzales said, “just looking at it . . .” He waved his arm in the direction of the mess on the pavement.

 

“That’s insane, Enrico. Who the hell ever heard of a pack of dogs attacking people in the middle of a city?”

 

“You ever hear of one dog doing anything that even remotely looks like that?”

 

“What about rats?” she asked the older cop, fearful he would laugh in her face.

 

“I actually thought of that myself for a moment there. It’s not the most far-fetched of possibilities.”

 

“No?”

 

“Not at all. Once, I saw what was left of an old wino eaten by rats, back when I’d been on the force not much longer than you have. But that was a guy who’d crawled under the porch of a house, probably trying to escape the weather. Besides, long ago as it’s been, from what I remember, that body didn’t look anything like this.”

 

“No, huh?”

 

“Not really, no.  It looked more like he’d been nibbled on till he was worn down to practically nothing.”

 

Pam pointed towards the corpse.

 

“That’s not a bunch of nibbles,” she said.
