I Want to Be Your Dog Omnibus

Edition excerpt from I Want to Be Your Dog Omnibus (2026): The first new edition in 30 years, I Want to Be Your Dog is the story where Ho Che Anderson announced himself as a creative force to be reckoned with. Mary Greenberg, a Jewish Guyanese woman living in Toronto, is recovering from a bad breakup. One that makes her want to be bad all by herself. Mary’s ex, Xal, is a sadomasochistic abuser and petty thief, lying low in New York City with his brother Baron. Mary was Xal’s collared “dog” but this time around, she wants to be the one holding the leash.That’s when she meets Damian—sweet, soft, and woefully insecure about sex. What starts as a genuine connection becomes an ugly web of moral corruption, domination, and submission. To make matters worse, Mary wants to know what it’s like to kill someone. And that’s before Xal washes up back in Toronto. This new omnibus edition includes, for the first time ever in print, the digital-only short story “Miles From Home”, a gently heartbreaking side sequel focusing on Mary’s sister, Mo, and a brand-new chapter focusing on Mary decades later which is a bittersweet coda to the main story. Plus, bonus material featuring promotional sketches, deleted scenes, and the author’s reflections on the work three decades later. Visually daring and thematically fearless, Anderson’s opus remains as real and raw today.
