Product Details
Overview
A queer horror graphic novel about belonging, identity, and survival.
Melle, a lonely nonbinary student, is drawn into a mysterious spirituality group through a woman they love and tasked with caring for the group’s growing pack of angel dogs. As the dogs overrun Melle’s apartment and their health deteriorates, Melle begins to confront a deeper truth about their gender and the conditional love binding them to the cult. When one angel starts to grow sick, Melle must choose between preserving the faith that is destroying them or finally choosing themself.
Surreal and emotionally raw, Outside Are The Dogs is a tale of trans awakening and toxic acceptance, with elements of horror and magical realism. Perfect for fans of Junji Ito, Remy Boydell, and intimate queer storytelling.
"Outside are the dogs" from Revelation 22:15 is a biblical metaphor describing the exclusion of the immoral, unclean, and wicked (symbolized as "dogs") from entering the Holy City (heaven/New Jerusalem). It refers to people who reject God’s righteousness, practicing impurity, falsehood, and violence, rather than literal animals. Em Hoover has crafted a story that looks at the journey of being excluded from a former sanctuary and being true to oneself.
