Praise for Wild Dog 

A Strong Words Magazine Book of the Year 2020

A smart, scathing and bleakly funny cross of folk horror, satire and historical fiction’ Toronto Star

‘Reads like a modern fairy tale’ New York Journal of Books

‘So original, so beautifully done, and sinister and savageI didn’t want it to end’ Chris Whitaker, author of Tall Oaks

‘Wild Dog details a disturbing continuum of savagery, both animal and human. At once eerie and sensual, it’s a timely reminder that, no matter how sophisticated we believe ourselves to be, we are no match for nature’ The Guardian

‘The suspense seeps from each exquisitely crafted sentence, taking the reader into a world replete with complex emotional and moral dilemmas... a raw, brutal and magnificent literary experience’ European Literature Network

‘Wild Dog is a magnificent philosophical thriller… a novel pregnant with suspense and unpredictability, wickedly tense and portentous, doom laden’ NB Magazine

‘Packed tightly with suspenseful moments and a consistently ominous atmosphere’ Crime Fiction Lover

‘Serge Joncour has perfected his work down to the very last detail.’ Le Parisien

‘Some books have an unexpectedly powerful effect on you. Lean on Me, despite its deceptively calm title, is one of these, [with] lyrical lines that stay with you long after the book is closed’ Elle

‘A terrific love story.’ Livres Hebdo

‘A love story that also paints an image of society and is interspersed with humour, tenderness and intelligence. Joncour ... is in his element. Clearly, we can lean on him.’ L’Express
