![]() The Voice creepy comics collage by Jennifer Weigel Creepy Comics Story 9: The Voice (of God or Reason or perhaps an homage to my ex) This novel is forgettable in the scheme of things and you’re better off picking up one of the other two Cutter books, unless you’ve already read them. I felt the novel could have a quarter of the length shaved off and produce a better reading experience. The novel doesn’t compel the reader to the next page as standard horror does. “The Troop” is also extremely long, but for no reason it seems. I just desired something closer to Cutter’s other novels. If you are looking for a gory, mind-numbing tome, “The Troop” isn’t a bad choice at all. ![]() “Little Heaven” and “The Deep” explore horror as it relates to humanity and human nature in a more nuanced and intellectual way than the gorefest of “The Troop.” It is evident that Cutter has grown as an author throughout his writing. This is probably the result of the publication years on Cutter’s texts. I loved the graphic nature of the novel, but felt it lacked the humanity and depth of Cutter’s other two novels. Cutter doesn’t exactly do this.ĭon’t get me wrong. ![]() ![]() ![]() The boys are faced with a situation that would make any child cower. While we all like quite a bit of this, it causes a detriment to the novel. Cutter focuses almost solely on the gore and guts. Many concepts could be addressed here: mortality, grief, innocence. The novel is quite reminiscent of “Lord of the Flies,” but doesn’t go as into the literature genre as I’d like. ![]()
