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

Review
"Utterly terrifying."-- Clive Barker on THE DEEP"
A grim microcosm of terror and desperation haunting. -- Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author on THE TROOP"
A gripping and terrifying story delivered by a very talented writer. Nick Cutter s LITTLE HEAVEN is an intense experience, and one not to be missed! -- Robert McCammon, New York Times bestselling author of SWAN SONG"
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 on LITTLE HEAVEN"
Lean and crisp and over-the-top....Disquieting, disturbing. -- SCOTT SMITH, author of The Ruins and A Simple Plan on THE TROOP"
Nick Cutter brings a bone-chilling spin to a classic horror scenario in THE TROOP. It's Lord of the Flies meets Night of the Creeps, and I enjoyed it immensely. -- Mira Grant, New York Times bestselling author on THE TROOP"
Nick Cutter pulls out all the stops in THE TROOP. This is a brilliant and deeply disturbing novel that you absolutely cannot put down. Highly recommended. -- Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Code Zero and Dead of Night on THE TROOP"
Nick Cutter s "Little Heaven "is a sprawling epic that can stand alongside the best of 80's King, Barker, and McCammon. It pits the coolest and most unlikely bounty hunters against an old time religious cult and the ickiest creation this side of John Carpenter s "The Thing." Fun, nasty, smart, and scary, and in all the right places. -- Paul Tremblay, acclaimed author of A Head Full of Ghosts"
THE TROOP scared the hell out of me, and I couldn't put it down. This is old-school horror at its best. Not for the faint-hearted, but for the rest of us sick puppies, it's a perfect gift for a winter night. -- STEPHEN KING on THE TROOP" --This text refers to the paperback edition.

About the author

Hello All,
It is I, Nicholas J Cutter Esq! I'm the writer of The Troop, The Deep, The Acolyte (May 2015), and the upcoming Little Heaven (2016, probs). I write horror and I love doing it. If the books sell, I'll keep writing them. If they don't, I'll go dig a ditch--not for the money, but because that's what I like to do when I'm not writing.
You can visit me at:

Yrs most sincerely,
Nick.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
To be fair, Little Heaven had some decent gory scenes (I would expect nothing less), but as far as redemptive qualities go, that was pretty much it. The book's characters were weak overall -- I did not give a fig(men) for Minerva or Ebenezer (I actually forgot Eb's name for a second and I finished the book five minutes ago) -- and the story was very slow to start and absolutely tedious to finish.
Honestly, this novel felt like a demented (yet silly) ripoff of a bunch of other horror novels and movies. At one point, a guy is decapitated by a massive bat wing while in a vehicle. Pretty sure we saw that in Jeepers Creepers 2, folks. There are weird Thing-like creatures everywhere, you've got the Pied Piper/Slender Man, a demonic baby, a crazed preacher, a cult, some creepy woods (yawn), a dark cave, something that seems a bit like It but isn't It as I am sure that would be copyright infringement (as if the rest of this drivel wasn't already)... the list goes on. And can I just ask, why does the Pied Piper speak in a child's voice? As soon as anything speaks in a child's voice it stops being scary and just becomes laughable.
I've read three of Cutter's novels now and The Troop was, by far, the best. It was simple, gory, and effective. This, much like the Deep, was just weird and to be honest, dull, despite the underlying theme of hell or evil or whatever it was.
As a horror novel, well, I would be hesitant to call it that at all. It comes across as more of an action/shoot'em up novel, with strong horror/supernatural elements. It's got a 90's bleakness to it- or maybe that's a 90's edge to it? Either way, a busy novel. Nick Cutter fans should find it a smoother ride than The Deep, but it still feels like it's missing the mark.
If you like horror with terrible creatures and even worse humans then this may be the story for you. My favorite thing about Nick Cutter's horror novels is that he doesn't make you wade halfway into a story to get to the meat of the horror, he likes to dish it out from the very first pages.

I have read Cutters other two books and loved them! This one plays around a lot with time lines and I like the endless cycle aspect. It was a nice touch.
I loved the characters and the action and climax, plus a lot of other cool threads woven in there too.
It was just too damn long and took way to long to get going!
15 ans auparavant, à Little Heaven le mal a contaminé une communauté religieuse dirigée par le révérend fanatique Amos Fletcher. L'horreur va frapper et les conséquences seront terribles.
Ambiance survoltée, action menée avec brio, des personnages charismatiques et super travaillés.Lovecraftien, on y voit un parallèle avec le CA de King en plus tendu & nerveux.
Attention aux âmes sensibles, l'ambiance est très Dark façon Troupe 52 son précédent roman en plus poussé.
Les abominations lovecraftiennes sont marquantes, les scènes de mort sont dérangeantes aussi.
La corruption, l'enfance brisée et le fanatisme religieux sont des thèmes présents.
Accrocheur, on bascule entre les évènements du présent et du passé. C'est écrit sans temps mort.
Roman au suspens top, à la fin imprévisible.
Bref, un roman qui scotche le lecteur.
Straight to the top of my favourite books. Wow.
