TO BE READ AT MAXIMUM VOLUME What happens when a record is played backwards? What starts as a simple summer trip to Granny's house spirals out of control for two teenagers who find Uncle Ernie's record collection and backmask songs from classic albums like 'Led Zeppelin IV' and 'Aqualung'. The boys' actions awaken a beast that has terrorized the small town of Stringtown, Alabama, for nearly thirty years. They must fight a war they can never win alone, so the boys turn to some of the most famous characters in classic rock for help. "Black Dog" is a rewarding tale of good vs. evil, infused with narrative commentary and entertaining pop-culture and musical references.
