Hell Hounds

Average Customer Rating: Recommend

Racing sled dogs is hell, especially when you're in hell. When Satan offers Chris McFarrell a chance at driving dogs again, this time against God's team, how can Chris resist? Air conditioning is on the line here, only the sled dogs aren't exactly sled dogs. They're hell hounds from the netherworld, including a particularly bad-tempered, reincarnated Poodle from hell named Fifi…

it's alright--good but not great
Good story, some good humor. I smiled through it, but it was not that funny that I ever burst out laughing or anything. A lot of swearing, but what else could you expect in hell? Even though it wasn't amazing, it was worth the 49 cents. If it had been more I would have been more disappointed, but it was a good short read for the money.

$1000 in laughs for a couple of quarters
This was the kind of story I'd buy an entire magazine for: clever premise, snappy delivery, ending I never saw coming. The author says she's never envisioned herself as a humor writer, but after reading this, she should feel confident adding humor to her long list of credentials.
Great story!

I'm the author, I wrote it
Ok, yes, you're not getting an unbiased opinion here. Of course I think the story is fabulous -- I wrote it. If Amazon had a humor section, I'd probably put this story in there. It's funny; it's quirky. Take fantasy and sled dogs, and a large dollop of humor and this is what you've got.
Basically, it's more along the lines of my Four Bubbas writing. To be honest with you, I never envisioned myself a humor writer, but somehow I've managed to write humor and do it pretty well (this is coming from someone who screws up the timing of the punchline). It's not at all like Prophecy of Swords, but you can check it out and see how versatile I am when I'm in a mood. And for the price, you just can't beat it.
I don't want to give away the plot any more than I've done in the description, but it's a very fast read. Basically, if you want a fun story, this is it.
