The Dorians

"Nick Cutter is a dark magician at the peak of his storytelling powers. Innovative, shocking, and downright terrifying, The Dorians is the terror trip all horror fans have been waiting for. Playing God has never felt so tempting...or deadly.” —Richard Chizmar, New York Times bestselling author of Widow’s Point: The Complete Haunting and Chasing the Boogeyman

"Cutter tackles the concept of mortality while channeling his inner Oscar Wilde, yet present is all the squirmy, gruesome, icky wonderfulness that has made Nick Cutter such a treat to read. Fans of his previous books will find him here at the top of his ghastly game. Highly recommended.” —Ronald Malfi, bestselling author of The Hive and Small Town Horror

“A slow burn that…becomes more unhinged the longer it goes on….fans of Cutter’s earlier work should enjoy this piquant, and in places unexpectedly poignant, look at aging and corroded wish fulfilment.” —Toronto Star

“This modern sci-fi/horror hybrid shares DNA with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, but that DNA has mutated into something gleefully grotesque…Cutter once again shows his knack for straddling the razor-thin line between fully realized characters and skin-crawling body horror…readers, both fascinated and appalled, cannot look away.” —Library Journal (starred review)

"A descent into body horror, [The Dorians] is brimming with squirm-worthy moments and pure textural malevolence that feel like classic Cutter, but it also offers new ways for [him] to explore deeper themes...Cutter’s gift for tension as tight as piano wire kicks into gear. The book moves at breakneck pace...an up-all-night horror story...[and a] warm character drama that is one of the author’s best works." —BookPage (starred review)

"At its core, all horror is about death, but in his latest, Cutter challenges readers to directly confront living, aging, and dying...this is a gripping, original, and existentially terrifying story...allow[s] the unease to increase organically as readers get swept up in the people, the drama, and the scientific wonder until they find themselves stuck in its tendrils, facing the horror on the page and their own mortality." —Booklist

“A grisly squirmfest…...ghastly...Cutter drives [The Dorians] to a crackling finale that unfolds, appropriately, during a dark and stormy night. Horror fans with a taste for the gruesome will not be disappointed.” —Publishers Weekly

“I have seen the future of 21st century horror, and his name is Nick Cutter…grimly fascinating and deeply unnerving…The Dorians is a grand slam, a major new work by a major author in the horror field, and one that will leave your reeling, and thinking, long after you’ve finished with it.” —Robert Mammone, Grimdark Magazine
 

"Nick Cutter [is] one of the hottest horror authors on the planet." —Paste

"Nick Cutter writes some of the scariest . . . horror novels around." —Variety
