The Dorians

A grisly squirmfest… Cutter drives it 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 *What if Nick Cutter, the viral horror mastermind who gave us the skin-crawling terror of The Troop, basically did his take on Cocoon? That’s a juicy premise, but even that is underselling what’s going on in The Dorians, Cutter’s latest major novel… Don’t miss this one * Bloody Disgusting *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 * Grimdark Magazine *What if you could stay forever young, like the popular tune suggests? Five elderly volunteers are given that chance, but the cost may outweigh the reward when darkness comes to light in this inventive horror tale * Barnes & Noble Reads *Gripping, original, and existentially terrifying… For fans of retellings in the vein of Unwieldy Creatures by Addie Tsai or the immersive realism of sf-horror such as in Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep by Paul Tremblay * Booklist *Brimming with squirm-worthy moments and pure textural malevolence that feel like classic Cutter… It’s also an ambitious character study of a group of people who feel their grip on the world fading, then find themselves forced to fight for lives they weren’t even sure they wanted anymore. As an up-all-night horror story, The Dorians succeeds, as most Cutter stories do. But it also succeeds as something else: A warm character drama that is one of the author’s best works * Bookpage *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 * Library Journal *
