pangers 's review for:

Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones
4.0
dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense slow-paced

 This was a beautifully written and poignant coming of age story that just also happens to have werewolves in it.

We follow our young narrator as he chronicles traveling with his aunt and uncle who dispense messy life lessons and family history over the years. The story is told through vignette chapters with a loose overall plot that ends with bittersweet loveliness.
