Cass’ debut queer horror novella, The Caretaker, is now available at Amazon. Check out what readers have to say about their ghost-filled work on their Goodreads page.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Cara, an overworked ICU nurse, could think of one million other things to do than sort through her dead mother’s house. Still, she’s here — cleaning a home she thought she abandoned long ago. Of course, it doesn’t take Cara long before she stumbles upon her mother’s buried secrets and becomes curiously stuck with a haunted hospice bed. Roping in her ride-or-die cousin Dylan and witchy ex-girlfriend Beth into the proceedings, Cara unwittingly drags her beloveds into a gauntlet of horrors.

Stitched together with humor and ramshackle nerves, THE CARETAKER is a story that asks: How do you go on after the worst has already happened to you? Best described as Motherthing meets Something Wicked This Way Comes, THE CARETAKER is a raw story of grief that seeks to break as many hearts as it heals.

Cass has spent years building a critical & thoughtful voice as a journalist, covering television, film, and comic projects — with an eye for horror. They’ll likely tell you about that first time they interviewed Elvira and their soul left their body. Here’s a list of their journalism work:
