A novel by Dale Taylor.
Every sixty seconds an animal is abused in America. He can’t make them stop—he can make them pay.
A consummate fusion of serial killer tale and coming-of-age story; disturbing but unquestionably captivating
Dale Taylor is a novelist and screenwriter whose screenplays have earned recognition from the Academy’s Nicholl Fellowship. His work often consists of dark themes with humorous undertones and a hint of sarcasm. Brooklyn Zoo was first written more than a decade ago under a different title and, after years in the drawer, is finally being brought to light. Dale was born and raised in Harlem, NY.
East New York, Brooklyn was a rough place to come of age in the late 1990's . It would have been easy for Travis to fall prey to the streets, like so many other young black males... but Travis was different.
Travis was one of the good guys. A normal, high school kid. Kindhearted, socially awkward, girl crazy, vigilante serial killer.
Travis had a niche: the ones who hurt animals. The abusers. The kind of monsters who set stray dogs on fire. Those were the pricks he hunted—and he was good at it. So good, local cops started taking notice. Some wanted to catch him. Some didn’t.
Now, with the law closing in, Travis knows he should stop. But there’s one more name on his list. One more monster to deal with. And it might be the last thing he ever does.
