Summary "The Day of the Beast" by Zane Grey is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set shortly after World War I, it explores the emotional and physical struggles of Daren Lane, a soldier returning home from the war, as he grapples with his changed identity and the disillusionment of reintegrating into society. The story delves into his relationships with fellow veterans and the shifting dynamics of his hometown, touching on themes of sacrifice, longing, and the harsh realities of civilian life after war. The opening of the novel introduces Daren Lane as he returns home by ship, accompanied by his fellow veterans Blair Maynard and Red Payson. Their reunion is marked by a bittersweet mix of joy and apprehension as they confront the stark contrast between their dreams of a warm welcome and the reality of a society that has seemingly moved on without them. Lane's own experiences in the war leave him physically and emotionally scarred, and he struggles with the feeling of alienation back home. As he navigates the changes in his relationships, including the poignant transformations in his family and friends, the narrative begins to explore the consequences of war on personal and communal ties, setting the stage for the unfolding story.
