Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones

5.0

This is a beautifully written coming of age story of a young werewolf trying to find his place in a world that doesn’t want him and a family that doesn’t really know what to do with him.

It’s more of a case study than on the life of a boy growing up with werewolf family than full on story but it works perfectly! SGJ is able to weave in and out of past and present timelines seamlessly and it adds so much depth to the story. It’s such a fresh take on the werewolf story with just enough homage to its inspirations to feel familiar and I loved it so much.
