An instant USA Today Bestseller! The first collection from author Nat Cassidy, featuring his unique blend of gleefully terrifying short fiction, and including a brand-new introduction from the master of horror himself, Stephen King!.

"These stories are f*cking great. They rule. So read them." – Stephen King, from his introduction

There are locations in this world where the light doesn’t seem to reach. Where, no matter how illuminated the place might be, shadows creep in too strongly to fight back.

A suspiciously empty gas station rest stop in the middle of the night, littered with googley eyes... A doctor’s office, where a bottle of booze and a tear-stained folder wait on the desk... A tech millionaire’s haunted kitchen... A Bible-quoting ventriloquist’s dingy apartment... A yoga retreat in the middle of the desert, silent except for the screaming...

These locations and more are your destination and bestselling author Nat Cassidy will be your guide. Featuring the Bram Stoker Award-nominated, critically acclaimed novella Rest Stop (one of Esquire’s Best Horror Books of 2024), along with a number of other original short stories, some which have never been published before, I Know A Place: Rest Stop and Other Dark Detours is a travelogue down twisting side streets and through alleyways where the darkness has eyes... and teeth.

Let’s hope you make it home in one piece.

"A terrifying joy... Dripping with unrelenting dread, immersive fear, and existential terror... A singular voice, Cassidy doesn’t just know a place, he has planted a flag there, cementing his status with a collection that feels like a conversation about horror (both the feeling and the genre) between author and readers." — Library Journal, starred
