IN BOOKSTORES NATIONWIDE
BASED ON THE HIT PODCAST
Adapted and expanded from Mac Rogers’ podcast script by author Nat Cassidy, the Steal the Stars novelization—available November 7th—offers new insight into the world you’ve come to know and love.
FORBIDDEN LOVE.
A CRASHED UFO.
AN ALIEN BODY.
AN IMPOSSIBLE HEIST.
Dakota “Dak” Prentiss guards the biggest secret in the world.
“Moss” is your standard gray alien from innumerable abduction stories. It still sits at the controls of the spaceship it crash-landed eleven years ago. A secret military base was built to study both Moss and the dangerous technology it brought to Earth.
The day Matt Salem joins her security team, Dak’s whole world changes.
It’s love at first sight—which is a problem, since they both signed ironclad contracts forbidding fraternization with other military personnel. If they run, they’ll be hunted for what they know. Dak and Matt have only one way to be together: do the impossible. Steal Moss and sell the secret of its existence.
And they can’t afford a single mistake.

TENANTS
or
WHEN THE HORNET ARRIVES
By Nat Cassidy
M and G's new apartment is nothing special — it really could be any generic New York City apartment — but they're hoping it's a place of healing, a new beginning after a traumatic encounter with a former friend. Unfortunately, the previous tenant of this apartment isn't a man who likes to let go … and he wasn't ready to move out. First, it's little things: their mail disappears, it feels like someone's watching them, he stops by occasionally just to say hi and see what they've done with the place. But soon, when G is called out of town for business, M is left alone, and before they know it, they wake up to find themselves immobilized and watching as the previous tenant begins to make the apartment his own again.

A FREE Reading of Nat's Newest Horror Play
FOUNDATIONS
Monday, April 16th, 7pm
The Broom Tree Theatre
23-35 Broadway in Astoria, NY
FOUNDATIONS
By Nat Cassidy
"There's a new apartment complex being built in your neighborhood: Melody Gardens, offering luxury living at affordable prices. But one day, as they wait for a rainstorm to pass, the construction crew of Melody Gardens begins trading stories about the dreams they've been having lately. They're about to learn: stories are like buildings. We design them. We live in them. And sometimes, they turn out to be haunted."
Directed by Jordana Williams
Cast TBA
From the press release:
The evening is presented by Mission to (dit)Mars co-founders Kari Bentley-Quinn, Don Nguyen, Meredith Packer, and Laura Pestronk.
On why this eerie script was selected, co-founder Meredith Packer explains "In this play, Nat asks us to take a dark and terrifying look at something as mundane as the apartments we live in. And he makes them thrilling, thought-provoking, and nightmare-inducing."
"Nat has brilliantly conquered the horror genre, and his plays usually keep me up all night with one eye open." explains Laura Pestronk. "The extremely exciting and fearful FOUNDATIONS is no exception, and it had me checking my apartment twice before drifting into a likely nightmare."
Kari Bentley-Quinn adds "FOUNDATIONS sent more than one shiver down my spine, and proves that Nat is one of the best horror writers for the stage. Not only is this play frightening and unsettling, it features a cast of well drawn characters and edge of your seat suspense."
This free reading is made possible (in part) by the Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

Nat was also incredibly thrilled to shoot the role of team-member Zbigniew Block, alongside some TV luminaries, in the USA pilot of Brooklyn Animal Control. The pilot is currently in "redevelopment," but whether or not Nat's involved with the project in its next incarnation, he sure hopes it makes it to air, because it was a phenomenal group of people and also WEREWOLVES Y'ALL.
Also, do yourself a favor and pick up the graphic novel on which the show is based (written by executive producer JT Petty). It's real, real good. |
