Little Heaven: A Novel

Little Heaven: A Novel

A “gripping and terrifying story…and one not to be missed" (Robert McCammon) from the acclaimed author of <i>The Troop </i>and <i>The Deep</i>!<br><br>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…<br> <br>“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, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author<br> <br>“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 <i>A Head Full of Ghosts </i>and <i>Disappearance at Devil's Rock</i>
