Reseñas de la Crítica

"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

So so good

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.

Smart thriller, with lots of twists

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

One of my favorites of all time

The horror aspects were great. Lots of twists. All together an awesome read. The reader did a good job as well.

Loved it !!

I loved this book!! I was in a reading slump and this was sooooo good!! I want more like this!!!

A wildly imaginative, horrific, wonderful read

What an exquisite, unexpected journey of a novel. I thought I knew what I was in for, but I have never been so delighted and terrified to be dead wrong. It is astonishing how the author manages to rock us back and forth between intimate, all-too-human interactions and the unrelenting violence that explodes across the page. Wildly imaginative. Horrifying. Utterly heartbreaking.

As with all Nat Cassidy books, do not skip the forward and afterword - especially if you are listening to the outstanding audiobook version of this novel.

It’s rare for me to re-read books, but as with some of my favorite Stephen King novels over the years, I know that I will revisit this one again and again

WOW!!

Fantastic concept - fantastic execution - great reading - fear is an interesting thing - multi directional - safety is also a strange concept

Fathers and Shapeshifters

Such a tremendous story. It brought so many memories of my late Father that I immediately identified with both the fearful heroine and the deeply troubled antagonist. Bravo!

Interesting take on fathers/trauma

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!

This one has heart and bite. Excellent story and narration.

I loved this book on so many levels. Unforgettable characters, terrifying moments, incredible storytelling and alot of heart. One of the best books of the year. Will definitely read and listen to it again and again. Perfect narration. Please listen to the afterward. Definitely recommend.

So Uniquely Horrifying

loved!! what a ride and what a unique novel. and the writing was so well done
