Is that possible? To live in this world and not scare yourself to death? To feel turbulence and not imagine the plane going down? To experience hope as a grown-up with the same clarity a child feels terror? How do you not call forth the things that will devour you and give them teeth?

It's a book with a plot that isn't different from any science fiction and horror stories from the 1980s, such as Firestarter. Supernatural forces and special agents intermingled in a cat-and-mouse chase across America. However, having this cliche framework doesn't make the story's heart hollow. The book's heart is apparent from the developing relationship between Jess and the "kiddo" as they bond within their predicament. Cookie and Uncle Pepsi also bring heart to the story as they fill Jess's anguished void left by her absent father. These loving relationships help balance out the horrific wake of "kiddo's" abilities.
While the ending can be bothersome because we don't know how Jess suddenly absorbs the excess of power from "kiddo". The ending doesn't take away from Cassidy's novel being entertaining and emotionally moving.

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!?
