"Red Moon" by Benjamin Percy is a gripping narrative that intertwines themes of politics, horror, and humanity's relationship with nature, centered around the emergence of werewolves in the United States. The story unfolds in a near-future America where the transformation of people into werewolves is both feared and exploited. This metamorphosis serves as a powerful metaphor for societal fears regarding otherness and the potential for violence in times of crisis.
The novel follows key characters, including a young woman caught between opposing forces and a veteran dealing with the trauma of his past. As these characters navigate a world riddled with conflict, their journeys reveal deeper truths about identity, fear, and the lengths to which people will go for survival. The pace is relentless, with Percy creating a tension-filled atmosphere that keeps readers engaged throughout.
