SHAG -- A Novel by Mark Hordyszynski Meet Shag. He's furry. He's cuddly. He's mammoth. Well, um... actually, he is a mammoth. Woolly mammoth. Frozen in a block of ice and awakened 11,000 years later in modern day Scotland, SHAG is a modern tale of sacrifice and hope, stout-heartedness and greed, transcending age and gender to speak to the inner child inside each of us. Impish exotic-fiber artist Ina Stevenson, her visually impaired husband Ian—who sees things with his blind sight—and bearishly larger-than-life Baird discover Shag living amongst the herd of coos in the north Highland pastures. So does the megalomaniacal iconoclast Monsieur d' LeFolb and his ever present coven of Mo-Dels—Da'shay, Danette, Shar Pei and Victim; Don R Parti'i, Stupido, Comet and Liebtzen, and oh, of course, LaRue Dolf. D' LeFolb's obsession with immortality, global domination of the retail market, and possessing Shag leads them into life (threatening) after death (defying), after life (again) encounters of the prehistoric kind.
