I WANT TO BE YOUR DOG OMNIBUS HC (MR) (16 Sep Release)

The first new edition in 30 years¸ I Want to Be Your Dog is the story where Ho Che Anderson announced himself as a creative force to be reckoned with. Mary Greenberg¸ a Jewish Guyanese woman living in Toronto¸ is recovering from a bad breakup. One that makes her want to be bad all by herself. Mary’s ex¸ Xal¸ is a sadomasochistic abuser and petty thief¸ lying low in New York City with his brother Baron. Mary was Xal’s collared “dog” but this time around¸ she wants to be the one holding the leash.That’s when she meets Damian—sweet¸ soft¸ and woefully insecure about sex. What starts as a genuine connection becomes an ugly web of moral corruption¸ domination¸ and submission. To make matters worse¸ Mary wants to know what it’s like to kill someone. And that’s before Xal washes up back in Toronto. This new omnibus edition includes¸ for the first time ever in print¸ the digital-only short story “Miles From Home”¸ a gently heartbreaking side sequel focusing on Mary’s sister¸ Mo¸ and a brand-new chapter focusing on Mary decades later which is a bittersweet coda to the main story. Plus¸ bonus material featuring promotional sketches¸ deleted scenes¸ and the author’s reflections on the work three decades later. Visually daring and thematically fearless¸ Anderson’s opus remains as real and raw today.
