A review by anaiira
The Scarlet Plague by Jack London
4.0
I've commited to reading some plague themed books after this coronavirus thing (possibly regrettable decision, I'm not a fan of post-apocalypse novels) and I think this is fantastic.
Anyway, the pacing of the story is fantastic, all the more so for its brevity. It's gripping without being tedious, and there is something to the way Jack London composes a phrase that makes it intriguing.
Also crazy to think that this book came out about six years before the Spanish Flu really got going.
