Nat fucking Cassidy is beyond a modern king of horror . He is entirely rewriting the genre and setting new standards for what makes a good horror novel .

The things we find horrifying finds a new life through the uniquely and effortlessly diverse perspective of Cassidy's works.

Every character makes me sympathize with them deeply, even when I wish to strangle them. And the whole time I was on edge and allowing every piece of this book occupy all of my thoughts. A deeply personal feeling amd specific feeling of liminal dread and lack of belonging will ooze off of the pages and make your skin crawl.

Vampires apparently tend to be scarier when intertwined with ableism, sexism, is  anti-semitism.
