The Dog Stays And Other Stories is a collection of tales by Marjan Sierhuis about animals, relationships, the pandemic, hospitals, and more. The book contains stories of farm animals bothering their owners and wild animals hunting and gathering; a dragon trying to succeed in the film industry, well-dressed vampires, and a medieval warrior carrying a dangerous weapon. The author has also written futuristic tales about robots and advanced technology. And for people who love the holidays, this book covers you with stories about Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and Valentine's Day. There are stories about getting old, losing loved ones, serenity and peace, love and marriage. Get a copy of this book and embark on a memorable reading adventure.

The Dog Stays And Other Stories is an entertaining and well-written collection. The stories are unique yet familiar. Marjan Sierhuis has written about animals, couples, and mythical and supernatural creatures, but she tells their stories from a new perspective. The author uses a calm and casual tone, which makes me feel like I am having a friendly conversation. She used simple words that were easy to understand, and they made my reading experience enjoyable. Some stories are connected, while others are stand-alone. The themes cover death and grief, comedy, adventure, horror, science fiction, paranormal and supernatural genres. I loved that each story had a plot twist that made me view the characters in a different light. The twists kept me captivated and eager to know what surprises lay ahead. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves reading short, intriguing stories covering various genres.
