Synopsis

A “gripping and terrifying story…and one not to be missed” (Robert McCammon) from the acclaimed author of The Troop and The Deep!

A trio of mismatched mercenaries—Micah Shughrue, Minerva Atwater, and Ebenzer Elkins, colloquially known as “the Englishman”—is hired by young Ellen Bellhaven for a deceptively simple task: check in on her nephew, who may have been taken against his will to a remote New Mexico backwoods settlement called Little Heaven, where a clandestine religious cult holds sway. But shortly after they arrive, things begin to turn ominous. There are stirrings in the woods and over the treetops—and above all else, the brooding shape of a monolith known as the Black Rock casts its terrible pall. Paranoia and distrust soon grip the settlement. Escape routes are gradually cut off as events spiral toward madness. Hell—or the closest thing to it—invades Little Heaven. All present here are now forced to take a stand and fight back, but whatever has cast its dark eye on Little Heaven is marshaling its power—and it wants them all…

“A slow boil of unrelenting terror and inescapable consequences. Nick Cutter ups his game every time. Beautifully written—menace drips from every page.” —Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author

“A sprawling epic that can stand alongside the best of ‘80s King, Barker, and McCammon. Fun, nasty, smart, and scary, and in all the right places.” —Paul Tremblay, acclaimed author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Disappearance at Devil’s Rock

You could not outrun your past. Your history was a lonely hound pursuing you over field and fallow, never resting, always hungry, tracking you relentlessly until one night you heard its nails scratching at your door. just as i curse my taste buds for preventing me from enjoying the rich and varied wo......more

Even insects can scream. The little aphid did, as it toiled in the root system of a cactus plant.  While the aphid fed on the sugars deposited in the roots, something else curled up from the blackest recesses of the earth and slipped inside the aphids body. The aphid left the cactus roots, through th......more

**NO SPOILER REVIEW** Well, what a surprising read this was--surprising on multiple levels, actually. For the first 200+ pages, this book didn't even *feel* like a Nick Cutter book to me. I have previously read The Deep and the The Troop and this book didn't have the same or even similar narration sty......more

"The black rock stood within itself, brooding and implacable. It waited as it always had. For that wheel to come round again." A trio of mismatched mercenaries are hired by Ellen Bellhaven to check in on her nephew, who has been whisked away to join a backwoods settlement in New Mexico called Little......more

After reading two of Cutter’s books and being absolutely floored by both, I think it’s safe to say that he is a true master at his craft. Little Heaven is a spectacular novel, it’s insidious evil just mounts the whole way through and it’s bloody fabulous! Normally when I’m really loving a book I dev......more
