"Get your claws into this one, horror fiends. It's terrific. . . . Sink your teeth into a classic." —Stephen King
"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

      Starred review from March 1, 2025
      When diner waitress and struggling actress Jess finds a five-year-old boy alone and frightened outside her apartment one night, she brings him inside and feeds him leftover pizza while she tries to find out his name. When the boy's father shows up not long after, the child is clearly terrified of him. A bloodbath ensues, and Jess and the boy go on the run. Violence follows unrelentingly in their wake as Jess tries to keep the boy safe while also trying to unravel how she feels about the recent death of her estranged father and deal with the fact that she recently pricked her finger on a used needle while cleaning the diner bathroom. Cassidy plays with and subverts readers' expectations in delightful and surprising ways in this twisty, gory horror thriller that's also a moving, insightful examination of grief and obligation and the nature of fear. Recommend to readers who enjoyed the twists and emotional resonance of Catriona Ward's The Last House on Needless Street (2021) or the chase-based plots of Gretchen Felker-Martin's Manhunt (2022) or Blake Crouch's Run (2024).
