The Wehrwolf by Alma Katsu

dark emotional sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes

5.0

 
And the main lesson history has to teach us is that it’s easy to slip the skin of humanity and become a monster.

This was absolutely brilliant. So powerful. The layers of metaphor woven into this story were beautifully done and I felt completely transported during this short little piece. This was my first time reading Alma Katsu's work, but it absolutely won't be the last; in fact, it made me immediately want to read more of her books.

What a horrifying reminder of how easily, and how painfully frequently humans become monsters.
