When the Wolf Comes Home

by Nat Cassidy

Overview

Nat Cassidy, author of Mary and Nestlings, returns with When the Wolf Comes Home, an unabashed, adrenaline-fueled pop horror thriller reminiscent of Dean Koontz and Stephen King, and inspired by The Lathe of Heaven and Terminator 2.

One night, Jess, a struggling actress, finds a five-year-old runaway hiding in the bushes outside her apartment. After a violent, bloody encounter with the boy's father, she and the boy find themselves running for their lives.

As they attempt to evade the boy's increasingly desperate father, horrifying incidents of butchery follow them. At first Jess thinks she understands what they're up against, but she's about to learn there's more to these surreal and grisly events than she could've ever imagined.

And that when the wolf finally comes home, none will be spared.
