📚 Read the book before you see the movie! 🎬

Before The Dog Stars makes its way to the big screen, discover the story where it began — in Peter Heller’s powerful and beautifully written novel.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, The Dog Stars is much more than a story about survival. It’s a haunting exploration of friendship, loyalty, love, loss and what it means to remain human when the world has changed beyond recognition.
