Ever since the day he was deployed to fight in WWI, Daren Lane
dreamed of the day that he returned home. Feeling that it had been
several years since he left, Daren finally returns home to America,
but soon realizes that it is not the home he remembers. Others have
been able to move on from the war, causing Daren to question if his
sacrifice of service was even worth it. Though he is attached to
the ideals and behavior popular during the Victorian era, the rest
of American society have moved on to the frivolous and fun attitude
of the roaring twenties. When Daren notices that his younger sister
is participating in this culture, drinking underage, gambling, and
taking drugs, Daren is repulsed. Feeling that it is immoral and
irreverent, he vows to put a stop to it. While organizing a way to
combat his community’s declining morals, the young soldier
receives a troubling diagnosis due to an injury that he sustained
during the war. While coming to terms with this discovery, Daren
decides to dedicate his time to mentoring the youth, attempting to
reform their behavior. With themes of cultural and generational
divides, The Day of the Beast by Zane Grey is a somber and
intriguing narrative that depicts a soldier’s complicated
integration back into civilian life. Written with descriptive and
moving prose, The Day of the Beast is emotional and provides a
unique and rare perspective on the cultural change of the roaring
twenties. Adding to the fascinating discussions of this historic
period, this Zane Grey masterpiece is captivating and relevant to a
modern audience. This edition of The Day of the Beast by Zane Grey
now features a new, eye-catching cover design and is printed in a
font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations,
this edition of The Day of the Beast crafts an accessible and
pleasant reading experience for modern audiences while restoring
the original drama and depth of Zane Grey’s work.
