Nestlings

"Ana and Reid are dealing with a lot – first-time parenthood, Ana’s paralysis, postpartum depression, loss of income, the recent death of Reid’s mother, an antisemitic landlord and more – when they win a life-changing housing lottery. It seems like their luck is turning. But it isn’t. The home – the Deptford – with its secret histories, gargoyles, labyrinthine hallways, green-in-winter courtyard, is as memorable as literature’s well-known Overlook Hotel and Hill House. Nat Cassidy is good at revealing just enough to disquiet, steadily ratcheting up dread and “too late?” anxiety until you don’t know what the right choices are. This unusual vampire novel asks what is the price of belonging; how much is survival worth. No easy answers here."
