Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones

3.5

challenging reflective

---

A fictional story about werewolves and the struggles they go through while facing the fact they are other. This traditional take on being a werewolf is granted new life by Jones’s interesting perspective as it reads like literary fiction. The story is essentially an episodic anthology rather than a traditional narrative and ambient really have an overarching plot but just a smaller scale exploration of these characters lives and what it means to be a werewolf. 

I do ultimately recognize that this may not have been the story for me as I don’t typically like stories that lack a larger narrative but that is a me problem and if you like these sorts of tales you will like mongrels. Can recommend.
