Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones
5.0

Rounded up from 4.5. This is a story about a family on the margins - fighting hard to survive, loving each other fiercely and always running. They’re on the margins because they’re werewolves, but it rang so true for all the reasons people are on the margins - poverty, addiction, trauma…. Really this is a coming of age story for the unnamed narrator.
