Gray November deserves 5-stares not because I love or even like it.  It deserves a high rating due to its well crafted intensity and depth.  As I think about the themes of suffering and man's inhumanity to man that Ernest Hemmingway, John Steinbeck, Edger Allan Poe and William Shakespeare capture in many of their classic works,  Cale Thomason takes the reader on a journey that leaves ones soul questioning and heart wrenching.I highly recommend this book to readers that can appreciate the poetic darkness that surrounds Ralph and can appreciate the struggle of loving someone so deeply you would give your soul to save them but having to surrender to forces that exceed our understanding. Gray November is not a horror story but rather unmasks horror that is just beneath societies surface, showing its ugliness with no apology.
