Off the Leash

By Matthew Brady

Young Peter Hackles has never lacked for anything, having been raised in the household of his mysterious Uncle Rackham: the wealthiest landowner in Egbert Valley. But that all changes on the day Peter and his friends discover a savaged corpse in their village. Thereafter, frightful howls begin to echo through the woods and the moors, and a single act of compassion draws the boy unwittingly into the lair of an unimaginable beast...and into the heart of a terrible secret that no amount of earthly riches can spare him from. "Off the Leash" by Matthew Brady is a Mannison Minibook published by Mannison Press, LLC.
