When the Wolf Comes Home

Nat Cassidy does it AGAIN and delivers a tale of macabre wonder equal parts heart wrenching and thrilling. It takes a special kind of understanding of the human psyche to write something like this, and it becomes clear he does by the time you're reading the afterword (which had me, once again, in tears – as his experiences seem to mirror my own).

I could see much of what influenced this book, but it didn't feel derivative in the least. It's a pretty creative take on fairy tales, and I loved every moment of it. Definitely a new favorite.
