THE
'SHUCK' DOG
Author’s note – This tale amalgamates two legends – that of the Wild Hunt, and the even more sinister appearance of the black dog, portent of death … The ‘Shuck’ Dog. Both are European legends, but as you will discover their hunting ground can just as easily be the great mountain stretches of modern Colorado. I’ve bent the legends to fit the story, but hey, this is fiction, right?
This is – once again – a penance fic from the Jezebelles. Sigh. I did it again, and forgot my THUD! Warning. You’d think at my age I would remember such things … but then again, perhaps not. I was told to write a Halloween fic that was also a crossover with Mike Mignola’s famous graphic novel character Hellboy (played in the movie by a certain Mr Ron Perlman), and the Seven. There is a small hidden reference to HB’s place of ‘birth’. If you want to know what it is, go read the graphic novels and find out. I would recommend trying ‘Seeds of Destruction’ first. Great stuff.
I must also profusely thank Heather F. for very kindly allowing Diablo to come meet Hellboy in this story. I have a soft spot for labradors, as has HB.
