Review: I Know a Place: Rest Stop and Other Dark Detours

I Know a Place: Rest Stop and Other Dark Detours by Nat Cassidy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I Know A Place: Rest Stop and Other Dark Detours by Nat Cassidy is a collection of 13 wonderfully dark tales. Cassidy brings us along on a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ twisting ride that is at times horrific, uncomfortable and funny but is always an absolute blast!

Some of my favorites from the collection:
REST STOP, the first and longest story in the book, tells the story of Abe in the middle of a long road trip to visit his comatose grandmother before she passes away. It's not a trip he particularly wants to make, as his relationship with his Bobbe has always been strained, at best. Needing to get something to eat and get gas for his car, Abe pulls off the highway into a gas station/convenience store and into an unfolding nightmare.

Nobody takes Santa Claus more seriously than a 6 year-old, and in NICE we learn the lengths to which a young boy will go to help ease the burden of the overworked Elves at Santa's workshop. Who knew being naughty could be so nice?

THE LUNAR ECLIPSE is a tale of long lost young love called to life for a second time under a blushing moon.

LAUGHLINES is a creepy story where finding out you are descended from English nobility might not be as charming as you think

The mind-body connection goes awry in INTO THE LIFE OF THINGS, when a yoga retreat delivers more than anyone bargained for.

Thanks to Shortwave Books and #NetGalley for the eBook review copy of #IKnowAPlace.
