About this listen

Nat Cassidy, author of the acclaimed horror Mary, returns with When the Wolf Comes Home, an unabashed, adrenaline-fueled pop horror thriller where the darkest fears can become reality.

“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

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, Jess slowly comes to a horrifying understanding of the butchery that follows them—the boy can turn his every fear into reality.

And when the wolf finally comes home, no one will be spared.

Critic reviews

"When The Wolf Comes Home is a sharp-edged metaphor for trauma and rage, for how they seep into us, how we carry them in us and how sometimes, we pass them on like a curse."—Cassandra Khaw, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth

When the Wolf Comes Home is an imaginative, adrenaline-fueled wild ride through the babysitting job from Hell. Brims with both horror and heart.”—Tananarive Due, author of The Reformatory

"I finished reading the book about a week ago, and it keeps sliding back into my thoughts and conversations. ... Wolf carries with it a harrowing inevitability. The feeling you get, maybe, when one enters the Twilight Zone, and you just know things will be different now. ... Nat Cassidy has tapped into something with this one: it's the mood all us readers are always digging for: the Truth, a truth, his truth... the sort of truth you add to your own.”—Josh Malerman, New York Times Best Selling author of Bird Box and Incidents Around the House

I fell in love with his book Mary which is probably my all time favorite book. I enjoyed Nestlings but not as much. When the Wolf Comes Home was a home run immediately. Story and narrator kept me intrigued from beginning to end. Fantastic and a nice twist on the idea of werewolves and shapeshifters. Highly recommend!

Good right out of the gate!

I actually related quite a bit and enjoyed the analogy of shape shifting fathers/fear from rage. It was weird but I liked it well enough and really love Nat's writing. Can't wait for the next book!

Interesting take on fathers/trauma

This book takes the cake as my favorite Nat Cassidy book, so far at least. I related to the themes and characters so much it was almost painful 😅. With fear behind every corner, this book has a great way of making you feel an almost claustrophobic sense of dread.

So so good

I love the visceral descriptions and the surprise twists and turns. just when you thought the story was over (or how it could possibly last longer), it would take a left turn into the unexpected. I loved that. fantastic writing. Just be sure you're ready for some very....descriptive...violence. My favorite parts are the eerie beauty of descriptions that I shouldn't enjoy, but really really do. Had me sitting in the car a little longer than I should before going to work to listen.

Not for the faint of heart

Very good, a must read. Smart, scary and thought provoking. I loved all of it, pretty rare, but I loved all of this, even the after word… good work, I can’t wait to read more

Five stars for the story and Five stars for the afterward. Nat Cassidy, you are amazing. Thank you for choosing to continue your work.

Outstanding!

I’ve read (listened to) all of Nat’s books and this is hands down the best. I don’t think there’s a person alive that couldn’t relate to the characters. Funny and melancholy at the same time.

Exciting weird and different
