I absolutely love Nat Cassidy's writing and will buy and read anything he writes!
This was such a crazy, imaginative story full of gore, grief, and terrorizing action. I thoroughly enjoyed every page, including the afterword.

The story follows Jess after she finds a lost little boy outside her apartment. As she struggles to protect him from his father, she realizes that things can always get worse than you can imagine.

Nothing will prepare you for what is in this book, so go in blind; it'll be worth it.

y'all... I finished this days ago and forgot to update because I was so blown away by this story, especially after the authors note... I want to do this book justice by writing a well thought out review but I need some time to process... I will say this for now... 

If you haven't read this book yet.... What are y'all doing!? Absolutely my TOP favorite horror book I've ever read. It's sitting up there with IT by Stephen King. Yes, it's THAT good, and it's THAT gory! Nat Cassidy is the horror author we have all begged for but don't deserve. Maybe it's because I resonated with it to my absolute core. Idk y'all... Just please go read it! And if you have already devoured The Big Bad Wolf... Tell me, did you love it as much as me!?

A real ripper of a horror novel. I'm a little burned out on "escorting a kid across the country" type stories but this was a real solid one packed with original imagery and fast pacing. Nat Cassidy continues to be an easy recommendation!

challenging dark emotional mysterious tense

This was absolutely nuts. The ending????? My jaw was dropped for the last like 10 pages 

What an insane ride and nuanced look at how fear affects us and how we interact with the world around us
