Moon Dogg is a work of supernatural fiction written by author Michael A. Greco. Based on the cultural concept of reincarnation, as observed by the indigenous tribespeople of America, this complex and winding tale describes Jerome Doggman’s penitence when he is killed in the middle of one of his film-making exposes. Returned to life in the body of a religious fundamentalist teenager, flashes of Doggman’s old life continue to haunt him as he spends his time living in the mind of the very people he used to hate and go after as a film-maker. What follows is a deep journey of self consideration and a spiritual experience set in the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation of southern Arizona.

Set up as both a spiritual exploration and an allegorical tale, the complex narrative and shifting perspectives of Moon Dogg will not be to everyone’s taste. There is a hint of James Joyce’s Ulysses about the structure in that the more you read, the more you understand, and when full understanding comes the conclusion of the novel is very satisfying. It is also a visceral experience, putting you deep in Doggman’s psyche with direct prose and powerful dialogue that force the issues of life and the differences between people to be discussed. Author Michael A. Greco has done an excellent job bringing the region of southern Arizona to life, filling it with the true culture of the indigenous Americans and their magical, paranormal ways. Overall, Moon Dogg is sure to please an audience looking for a spiritual fairytale.

Moon Dogg by Michael Greco is the fascinating story of Arizona filmmaker Jerome Doggman and his scheme to film an expose of an indigenous American tribe and their religious beliefs. Jerome, a.k.a. The Dogg, is murdered before he gets started, but instantly finds himself reincarnated in the body of fundamentalist teenage boy who has been in a coma for eight years. Vehemently anti-religious in his previous existence, Dogg suffers life among the people of his own contempt. Unbeknownst to those around him, Dogg struggles with this new life and the confounding mysteries of his reincarnation while falling in love with the teenage boy's older sister. Moon Dogg mixes in the confounding but enchanting mysticism of American Indian life in the Arizona desert. In his new life, Dogg reviews events in his previous life and tries to make sense of his new situation. Meanwhile, his killers sense his renewed presence and intend killing him again.

Michael Greco takes on the monumental endeavor of portraying several of life's mysteries within the framework of a story that encompasses life, death, empathy, love and hate in an unusual narrative style that often had me re-reading pages to ensure I'd understood what I'd just read. There are many scenes that will have you laughing and some will leave you sad, on the verge of tears. All in all, Moon Dogg is an excellent effort to entertain while simultaneously exploring profound concepts of life, religion, love, and time. This is a story that demands your full attention, but rewards you handsomely at the end.
