"An American airman was staying in a lonely old house by Walberswick Marsh in Suffolk. Suddenly, he heard a terrible crashing outside. Looking out, he saw a huge, black dog, fiery foam dripping from it's jaws, hurling itself repeatedly at the door. The dogs battering continued all night. But at dawn, it disappeared. Had the airman seen Black Shuck, the phantom dog?"
Fascinated by the paranormal, I remember taking an interest in the myth of Black Shuck, the one-eyed ghost dog. This was mostly due to the text above (written by Anne Civardi in the Pocket Rocket book Phantoms, 1993) which inspired this 'monstrous' illustration by an 8 year old me.
