This novel takes elements of contemporary horror - a fresh voice, a new angle, diversity - and mixes them with a bizarro fiction approach to reality.
It's clear that Cassidy wants to show that nothing is old if you make it new, and that no trope is too tired in the hands of a good storyteller.
When the Wolf Comes Home stands out is Cassidy's voice and the way he constantly balances the narrative, with writing that is quick and snappy.
