His characters are complex and relatable-perhaps not as iconic as many of the heroes and villains King has created, but they live and breathe within the context of the novel many of them walking that shaky tightrope between good and bad, sympathetic and irredeemable. Cutter may wear his influences on his sleeve, but he’s developed a clear, strong voice through his body of work. There’s also a hint of King’s Dark Tower series, embodied in a monster who deals in riddles.īut make no mistake-this is no mere pastiche. Here, Cutter mines King’s magnum opus, IT, for his book’s basic structure: group comes together, fights supreme evil, survives, disperses, and is drawn together again when the evil resurfaces years later. Nick Cutter has built a career on exploring and expanding his influences, particularly the work of Stephen King, and those influences once again reign supreme in Little Heaven. Little Heaven is the first major horror novel of 2017, and it’s going to take a monumental deluge of quality horror to keep it off of those end-of-year best-of lists that will start popping up 11 months from now.

From Fabel Entertainment, Henrik Bastin and Melissa Aouate will also be on as executive producers. Cuse has worked with Amazon before when he co-created the series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan.

Meanwhile, Cuse will also be on as an executive producer via his production company Genre Arts. His previous work includes titles such as Antlers and the Apple TV+ series Servant. Chaisson will be writing and on as an executive producer for the series. The Deep looks to be an interesting combination of both fears in this series for Amazon. Plagues are all too real, and the depth of the sea is horrifying enough.
