Information is teased out, but we don’t learn the fine details of their experiences, nor the true nature of what they faced. It doesn’t exactly help the tension for the bulk of the story to know how key players turn out beforehand, but I must say that as things went along this didn’t actually bother me much.
At first I had mixed feelings about this setup. The bulk of the story takes place in the 1960s, but the novel begins in 1980, introducing our dubious band of heroes long after their ordeal in Little Heaven. Finding the place is easy enough, but getting out becomes another matter entirely.ĭespite the seemingly straightforward premise for this novel, it plays a little more with chronology than I’d expected. Her goal is to find her nephew, ensure he is safe, and if he isn’t, get him out of there. Many months after Little Heaven is settled a young woman named Ellen hires a trio of mercenaries to take her there.
They have dubbed their community Little Heaven, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. They are surrounded by woods and ever in the shadow of a monolithic black rock that looms over the landscape. Only one rough road and some trails lead back to civilization. In the backwoods of New Mexico in the mid-1960s a religious commune has built themselves a community to get away from the sinful world, guided by their charismatic leader Reverend Amos Flesher. Little Heaven is the fourth and latest novel by horror author Nick Cutter.
