Reviews

“Nightmare territory…Often terrifying, consistently unsettling, and dripping with mounting dread, Cutter and Sullivan have created a modern masterpiece.” —Richard Chizmar, New York Times bestselling author of Chasing the Boogeyman

"The Handyman Method is a window into our deepest fears via strange and insidious how-to videos. Cutter and Sullivan have created a hallucinatory, chilling read that raises its level of dread and tension with each turn of the page...horrifying." —Gus Moreno, acclaimed author of This Thing Between Us

“Gruesome and grisly…The Handyman Method tears out of the gates and doesn’t let up much as things go from bad to worse to somehow worse…The pace is relentless…The vibe throughout is one of unsettling, mounting dread that rarely falters….horror fans are sure to appreciate [the novel’s] subtle nods to classics of the genre, as well as the direction Cutter and Sullivan take their dark tale of home improvement gone horribly awry.” Winnipeg Free Press

“A horror tale designed to scare the dickens out of the reader.” New York Journal of Books
