Read full bio Most Popular The Troop: A Novel 5,126 Kindle Edition 139917. It’s another horror book set in Challenger Deep, the deepest spot in any of the world’s oceans. 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’ll probably die before I take a crack at even half of those things!Īny way you could give us a hint about what you've been working on?
Lots and lots of things I’d like to tackle. I’m glad those books exist, I’ve read many of them and they’re damn good, I just wish we didn’t have to gild the lily quite so much.Īre there other genres you've been tempted to try? If so, what are the novels that makes them look fun and meaningful to you? I’m not saying they’re slumming, and I’m sure they wouldn’t say so either, but it seems that sometimes that’s the only way to get a horror book out there and get some attention is to have it written by a literary writer, who, lover of the genre though he or she might be, is taking a distinctly deconstructivist/literary/ironic take on, say, a zombie crisis or a vampire narrative. Now it seems like a few horror books come out every year, there are a few dedicated “ horror” writers, and the rest are often “literary takes” on horror themes written by literary writers. I came of age during that boom, though, and I was influenced by not only the bigtime masters, Stephen King and Clive Barker and Robert McCammon and Joe Lansdale and Dean Koontz, but some of the lesser-known but still vital and incredible practitioners like Jack Ketchum and Bentley Little and David Morrell. Some people blame the horror boom of the 80s and 90s-a bunch of crummy books with lurid covers oversaturated the market, turning a lot of casual readers and even a few dedicated ones off the genre.
