The lights—and the suit—have changed to red, but there’s no time for a REST STOP by @natcassidy.bsky.social Pub’d by @shortwavebooks.bsky.social Welcome to #HauteHorrorCover - where horror book covers twin with high fashion. #BookSky #HorrorSky

#HauteHorrorCover graphic. A book cover on an e-reader - Rest Stop by Nat Cassidy. “Profoundly devastating and nasty as hell” - Eric LaRocca, Author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. The font are letters cut from magazines thrown against white tiles. Red liquid covers the bottom tiles and some at the top as a lone googly eye stares at nothing. On the left of the e-reader is a strip of film featuring a model wearing a Salvatore Ferragamo (Spring Summer 2013) trouser suit with white trainers. The suit consists of red trousers, a white jacket stained red from shoulder to chest and stained a lighter red along the pockets. Underneath, a white shirt has a similar pattern.

The Other continues the doppelgänger tension that made The Extra one of last year’s must-read nervy horrors, but switches the live-wire tension up to 11
