bluemoosetom 's review for:
Mongrels
by Stephen Graham Jones
This book is the episodic story of a orphaned boy, raised by an aunt, uncle, and grandfather, navigating the issues of youth and puberty, with the added hurdle of lycanthropy. The book does create an interesting world and a fairly substantial werewolf culture relayed mostly through stories of the grandfather and uncle. Much of this book focuses on the uncertainty and anxiety of childhood and early adulthood.
I did not get too enamored with this book, but I am not the biggest horror/monster genre fan, so perhaps this book is better for those audiences. It is mostly a coming of age tale, but the monster angle made it less relatable and interesting to me. At the very least, it was different from my standard reads, and well suited to October.
