“A crazy-good, balls-to-the-wall horror novel . . . it’s full throttle from the first pages.” —Joe Hill
“This is the kind of great, big, epic horror novel we got back in the '80s that came out swinging for the fences and left everything on the field. Welcome back, you shaggy, bloody monster of a book!” —Grady Hendrix

Customer Reviews
Fathers, Abuse, Fear
A brilliant book about screw up fathers, fears—childhood and adults in a story that isn’t your usual werewolf story. Surprising, engaging and deftly written.
Really, Really Good
Burned through this in 2 days. Not exactly a “happy” ending, but an important one that makes you really think and reflect. Tons of important metaphors were packed in here, while the writing and story was like being on a 0-to-60 launch rollercoaster the entire way through. Nat Cassidy is one of the best modern day horror writers out there. Go read this book!
INTENSE
This book, wowww- what an incredible allegory. This one will definitely stay with me while.
First Nat Cassidy book I’ve ever read, now I’m going to purchase ‘Mary’. I need to catch-up.
I’ll follow this author. Incredible!
