Story # 4 - The Art of What You Want
This one is brilliant!!! An amazing twist!
Story #5 - The Lunar Eclipse
Short, sweet and sad.

Story #2 - only horrific if you know the name… interesting choice…
Story #3 - shudder. Nothing gross or even that scary here unless you’ve always found pregnancy and birth (like me) to be a bit alien. Then this is like the beginning of so many nightmares I’ve had.

Story #1 - Rest Stop (longer story)
Wow does Nat Cassidy know how to get me. Put a big spider in a confined space and sure enough I’ll have literal shivers, a want to stop reading (but I gotta know what happens to feel better right?), and an overall visceral reaction. This story is so bizarre and yet so good. The Saw reference made is perhaps a nod to some of Cassidy’s inspiration. Horror for horror’s sake.

Short story collection starts off with a longer novella.

I need to veer off the romance train I’ve been on recently, and 13 short stories from Nat Cassidy seems like the perfect way to do. I just need to remember not to read them right before bedtime!
