Black Shuck! The terrifying beast that stalks the countryside of East Anglia! A horrifying black dog with glowing eyes! Glowing RED eyes!! Some even say ONE glowing red eye!!! He’s a feral, devilish beast, whose mere appearance heralds the death of a loved one! That cad!

Here’s a record of his lousing up the place at St Mary’s Church, Bungay in 1577. From A Straunge and Terrible Wunder by Abraham Fleming:

This black dog, or the divel in such a linenesse (God hee knoweth al who worketh all,) running all along down the body of the church with great swiftnesse, and incredible haste, among the people, in a visible fourm and shape, passed between two persons, as they were kneeling uppon their knees, and occupied in prayer as it seemed, wrung the necks of them bothe at one instant clene backward, in somuch that even at a mome[n]t where they kneeled, they stra[n]gely dyed

What a terrible bastard! As The Darkness rightly claim in their song named for the bounder, “That dog don’t give a fuck”!

 

Have a good night, IF YOU DARE!!!!! !!! !1 !!!
