Publishers Weekly praises REST STOP

Publishers Weekly praises REST STOP

Publishers Weekly recently published their review of Nat Cassidy‘s forthcoming novella, Rest Stop.

Read an excerpt of the review below, or read the full review on Publishers Weekly‘s website.

This grimy survival horror novella from Cassidy careens along with anarchic glee… The splatterpunk plot hits the ground running and maintains incredible tension throughout with fearlessly disgusting horror beats and a twist readers will never see coming. One part Stephen King’s Desperation and one part Green Room, this is like a perfectly satisfying gas station hot dog—greasy, made of surprisingly complex components, and viscerally rewarding.

We are very thankful to Publishers Weekly for this fantastic review of Rest Stop, available October 15th in eBook and Paperback.
