->''Just before humans split off from their hominid primate ancestors, two separate mutations occurred, resulting in three different species: ''H. sapiens'', ''H. vampyros'', and ''H. lupus''. From a genetic viewpoint, humans, vampyres, and wulves are 99.6% identical. That four-sixths of one percent makes all the difference in the world.''

''Red Moon Rising'' is a [[YoungAdultLiterature young adult]] UrbanFantasy {{novel}} by Creator/PeterMoore first published in 2011. It takes place in a world were [[{{Muggles}} humans]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vamps]], and [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent wulves]] evolved and lived alongside each other all through civilization.
[[PhantasySpelling Vampyres]] are TheBeautifulElite; platinum blonde, tall, attractive, and highly intelligent. In contrast, [[PhantasySpelling Werewulves]] work [[WorkingClassWerewolves work menial jobs and live in bad neighbourhoods]]. The main character is Dante "Danny" Grey, who has been raised as a [[HalfHumanHybrid half-vampyre]], living with his mother and going to Carpathia Night, a high school for vamps. However, his father was wulf, not human, and despite the genetic treatments he had as an infant, Danny is going through some... [[PubertySuperpower changes]].
Fortunately, he can rely on his best friend Claire, and classmate/friend Juliet. But there's only a month until the next full moon, and Danny's time is running out.

!!''Red Moon Rising'' provides examples of:
* AllGenesAreCoDominant:
** Played straight with [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human vamps]], who are fairly similar to both sides of their family tree and share the weaknesses of both species.
** Subverted with any [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human wulves]], where the wulf genes are dominant and the person is considered either a full-wulf or not a wulf at all depending on whether their parents can afford gene-therapy to suppress the wolf side of their biology (and avert the Change).
** Danny is a different subversion, because he is a half-wulf, half-vamp, and his gene therapy was incomplete. So his wulf genes were weakened but not suppressed and his vamp traits are constantly battling it out. At the beginning of the book he's not as stocky as a wulf but not as tall as a vamp. He has wulf hair colour, but vamp eyes and intelligence. As he comes closer to the Change, [[spoiler:he grows excessive body hair like a wulf, but the Change itself leaves him mostly cognizant when he should be feral, and doesn't alter his appearance as a normal wulf]].
* AlternateHistory: Wulves and Vamps are genetic offshoots of humanity that have coexisted with us for centuries, leading to several different societal shifts to accommodate the needs of the other species and Vamps eventually becoming the majority leaders in politics.
* ArcSymbol: A stylized black wolf head in a red moon, [[MarkOfShame the tag all wulves are tattooed with at infancy]] that proves their species.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Near the end of the book, each member of Danny's family individually comes to peace with what he's going through and show their love for him in different ways. The most blatant is Paige, who writes him a letter talking about how lame everything he's going through is and that she hopes he'll be okay.
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Due to the alternate history of the book, several celebrities are either vampires or, rarely, wulves.
* BodyHorror: The Change, which is so bad that it can permanently disfigure wulves. The bones break and rearrange, the face splits open to handle the widening jaw, and the skull has to break and reform for the muzzle. Once a wulf changes back they often have scars and injuries on their faces, leading to the derogatory term "crumple-skull".
* CapitalLettersAreMagic: The Change and the Thirst.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The basic treatment of wulves is quite similar to that of racial minorities in the modern world. The kennels are seen as internment camps by wulves and wulf-sympathizes, which isn't too far off since there were actual internment camps for wulves during WWII. The Change and stigma associated with it rings similarly to mental illness. Danny telling his mom about his wulf side surfacing is a lot like a ComingOutStory, complete with him being temporarily kicked out.
* FantasticDrug: Real blood is highly addictive to vamps. Some vamps also use prescription blood thinners and coagulates to obtain a species-specific high.
* FantasticRacism: Wulves are on the bottom rung of society due to their appearance, temperament, and The Change.Gunther and his cronies are especially rude to the wulves, and eventually Danny, taunting them with specist slurs and trying to goad them into fighting so that they get expelled. Vampyres see themselves as superior to humans as well, but not to the point of hate crimes.
* ForWantOfANail: Due to the presence of vamps and wulves in this worlds history, mainly wulf rights occurring at the same time and in a similar manner as other civil rights movements. "Ring Around the Rosie" is now about wolf hunting, Shakespeare wrote a play called "King Wain" that involves vamps and wulves, "[[Music/DavidBowie Changes]]" is now about wulves, and several other celebrities have different names, biographies, and species.
* FurAgainstFang: There are centuries of animosity between the [[TheBeautifulElite socially elite]] Vampyres and lower-class [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Werewulves]], though in the books setting it manifests as a class struggle rather than outright war.
* HalfHumanHybrid: there are plenty of half-vamps and half-wulves, as well as hybrids of the other non-human species.
* HybridPower: [[spoiler: Danny doesn't bleed as much as a normal vampire, has heightened senses at all times, and can withstand sunlight due to both his hybrid status and his incomplete gene treatments]].
* InSpiteOfANail: Most of the worlds history is untouched. The world wars still occurred, the KKK and Nazis still held power, and most movies were still made (even if they had different names). Notably, the FantasticRacism exists next to other stigmas against marginalized groups rather than outright replacing it.
* LeftHanging: No resolutions are given with regards to [[spoiler: the full effects of Danny's Change, his relationship with Juliet, or the assassination of Huey Seele]]. And it seems unlikely that the book will receive a sequel any time soon.
* {{Muggles}}: Humans, who form the middle ground between vamps and wulves - not as smart or attractive as the former, but not as tough or stigmatized as the latter.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Pure blood [[PhantasySpelling vampyres]] are platinum blonde, tall, attractive, highly intelligent, and have a HealingFactor known simply as regen. The only traditional weakness they retain from classic lore is sunlight, which will burn them easily and requires them to utilize Sol-Blok windows in their houses and cars.

Their bite does not transform humans into wulves, they only reproduce through offspring (although they are [[HalfHumanHybrid compatible with humans]]).
* PhantasySpelling:
** Vampyres instead of "[[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]]"
** Werewulves instead of "[[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves]]"
* {{Tagline}}: "You can't change who you are" -- 2012 cover
* TransformationTrauma: The Change is traumatic, and the conditions where they're forced to live during the Change only adds to the trauma.
* VanHelsingHateCrimes: Poachers hunt moon-runners (wulves who Change outside the compounds) without regards for who they are as people. There were also the ''Werewulf Jaegers'', an extension of the SS that hunted werewolves and put them in separate concentration camps during the holocaust.
