![]() In Little Heaven, Cutter takes us from events in 1965 to their fallout in 1980, but the wider expanse of time and territory his characters walk doesn't make their suffering any less intense, claustrophobic and constant.Ĭutter's toolkit, which he shares with his Giller Prize-nominated writing alter-ego Craig Davidson, is a match for the roiling mass of his horrific ideas and the larger scope he's allowing himself in this novel. In The Deep, particularly, Cutter sketched a world of immense potential before immediately diving under it for the primary action of the novel, which takes place in a lab in the Marianas Trench. In The Deep and The Troop, Cutter's two previous novels for Gallery Books (Cutter also wrote The Acolyte, published with ChiZine in 2015), the canvas was clipped fiercely, reducing the action to an island and a lab at the bottom of the ocean's floor. Little Heaven is the novel where Nick Cutter finally stretches his horror out. ![]()
