Cutter may wear his influences on his sleeve, but he’s developed a clear, strong voice through his body of work.
There’s also a hint of King’s Dark Tower series, embodied in a monster who deals in riddles.īut make no mistake-this is no mere pastiche. Here, Cutter mines King’s magnum opus, IT, for his book’s basic structure: group comes together, fights supreme evil, survives, disperses, and is drawn together again when the evil resurfaces years later. Nick Cutter has built a career on exploring and expanding his influences, particularly the work of Stephen King, and those influences once again reign supreme in Little Heaven. Little Heaven is the first major horror novel of 2017, and it’s going to take a monumental deluge of quality horror to keep it off of those end-of-year best-of lists that will start popping up 11 months from now.
