Cover Reveal – REST STOP

Today we are revealing the full cover wrap for Nat Cassidy‘s novella, Rest Stop!

Rest Stop Full Wrap

In Rest Stop, a young musician finds himself locked inside a gas station bathroom in the middle of the night by an unseen assailant, caught between the horrors on the other side of the door and the horrors rapidly skittering down the walls inside.

“A gleefully vicious and relentless romp, REST STOP is Nat Cassidy at his most unhinged. Seriously, I’m scared of him now. This isn’t a blurb, it’s a restraining order.”
Brian McAuley, author of Candy Cain Kills and Curse of the Reaper

“Somewhere between Saw and Sartre, there’s a detour. Nat Cassidy’s REST STOP is that roadside attraction, a funny, beautiful, and scary novella that leavens its introspection with blood-spatter and a dusting of spider legs. It’s great!”
Adam Cesare, author of Clown in a Cornfield and Influencer

Pre-orders are now available for paperback (directly from our shop) and ebook (Amazon).

Rest Stop will be released worldwide on October 15th, 2024.
