The book reflects the early 20th-century American literary context, marked by a fascination with frontier life and themes of resilience. Jackson Gregory was an emblematic figure of early American literature, often drawing inspiration from his own experiences in the West. His deep connection to the land and its people, combined with a keen understanding of human psychology, provides a solid foundation for the character-driven narratives he crafts. This background is evident in "The Fire Flower," where Gregory explores not just physical landscapes but the emotional terrains of love and ambition. Readers seeking an evocative exploration of the American spirit will find "The Fire Flower" an essential addition to their literary repertoire. Gregory's ability to capture the complexity of relationships against the stark beauty of nature offers profound insights into the human experience. This novel is not just a journey through the wilderness, but an invitation to reflect on the flames of passion that drive us all.

    Many of us are cautious around dogs.  However friendly they seem their energy and open panting jaws seem to summon some primitive instinct within us to be aware. 
 
Once we advance to wolves those fears become rather more persuasive. Their wild and seemingly vicious, determined natures can induce panic in even the most foolhardy of us.  Nature admires winners. 
 
From there it is but a short step to the supernatural evil of Werewolves.  Now fear is definitely the thing we feel pulsing through our veins summoning a flight response.  But no matter what our hopes are werewolves, whether real or in the imaginations of this cast of chilling unrepentant authors, stroke knowing chords of terror into every sentence, as the pages turn our uneasiness begins to escalate.  Terror begins to track our every step.
