Resumen del Editor

This program includes a bonus conversation with the author.

Nat Cassidy is at his razor-sharp best again with his horror novel Nestlings, which harnesses the creeping paranoia of Rosemary's Baby and the urban horror of Salem's Lot, set in an exclusive New York City residential building.

“This is the horror book of the year.”—Erika T. Wurth, author of White Horse

Ana and Reid needed a lucky break.

The horrifically complicated birth of their first child has left Ana paralyzed, bitter, and struggling: with mobility, with her relationship with Reid, with resentment for her baby. That's about to change with the words any New Yorker would love to hear—affordable housing lottery.

They've won an apartment in the Deptford, one of Manhattan's most revered buildings with beautiful vistas of Central Park and stunning architecture.

Reid dismisses disturbing events and Ana’s deep unease and paranoia as the price of living in New York—people are odd—but he can't explain the needle-like bite marks on the baby.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Cassandra Campbell's careful pacing and deliberate articulation complement this horror audiobook.... Utilizing a variety of accents, she perfectly renders a large cast of humans and monsters, including a mysterious and glamorous movie star. Nat Cassidy narrates his author's note at the end with remarkable optimism, considering the distressing series of events that inspired the story." (AudioFile)

“A truly creepy story of urban and bodily unease. Nat Cassidy has created a terrifyingly claustrophobic world, and his clean, beautiful prose manages to make the horrific events he describes here feel dismayingly plausible. You’ll certainly never look at a gargoyle the same way again.”—Scott B. Smith, Bestselling author of The Ruins and A Simple Plan

“Nestlings cleverly pays homage to classic horror while also filling its Manhattan highrise with post-2020 frights and concerns. Nat Cassidy has written a creepy page-turner where the scariest things of all are what reside in the human (or inhuman) heart.”—Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts.

“Nestlings builds on the success of Nat Cassidy's first novel, the strong Mary: An Awakening of Terror. An impressive accomplishment in its own right, Nestlings shows Cassidy expanding his range as a writer with skill and confidence, with this gripping twenty-first century take on some old terrors.”—John Langan, author of The Fisherman

It was okay.

I think I may be the only one that had to trudge through the book. I loved Mary so I was so excited for this book. However, it just didn't do it for me. I didn't find it scary or interesting. It was predictable. Sorry Nat. Loved your first book but this one was just a meh for me.

Nat Cassidy is my new favorite !

after reading Mary and loving it,, I immediately grabbed Nestling, keeping a note to myself that the second one isn't always as good as the first. I was overjoyed at how wrong I was. This book had me from start to finish. I can't tell you how many times I gasped and shivered all by myself while listening to this in the car. His take on vampires and how the story unfolds had me guessing and wanting to hide under the covers, (which was inconvenient since I was always in the car ). I highly recommend this audiobook - and maybe listening to it during the day if you're a scaredy cat like me

Not Bad

Overall I enjoyed this. I will say the main characters annoyed me a lot of the time but the story was well written

What a great story

I was completely hooked by this book and couldn’t stop listening to it. A wonderful vampires not vampires story.

Gives a vivid description of everything insane that’s happening

Kept my interest the whole time. Love the descriptions of all the crazy stuff that happens. I wish this was a movie exactly like the book depicts it.

Worth it for horror lovers

This was a dark tale of a couple with a new born - <1yr, which is already stressful enough... and the darkness continues to pile on. Yet the heroine keeps rolling her wheels, even when you think she's being weak and whines too much. The performance is good and I don't get sick of the voice. Would have been better with a male voice for the husband but it's not that big of a deal, really. Still just as enjoyable 😁 This book has encouraged me read Mary, Nat's book before this one.

Nothing

Everything about it. It was so boring. It wasn’t scary. Not a horror. Lots of boring fluff. Zero sensuality no heat. Dry hump of a book.

It was good!

Interesting and eerie. Felt as if some parts were a bit dragged but definitely not enough to make it give it any less than 4 stars!

One of my favorite new authors

An entertaining, unsettling and weirdly relatable horror novel. Full of creepy crawlies and real-world struggles. There were a few loose ends, but whose life doesn't have those? Loved it.

1st 5-star of the year for me

Nat Cassidy is definitely an auto-buy author for me now. This and Mary are both favorites! Can't wait for his 2024 release.
