‘The Handyman Method’ Authors Nick Cutter and Andrew F. Sullivan On Their New Algorithmic Horror Novel

After six years, critically acclaimed horror author Nick Cutter (The Troop, The Deep) is back with a new novel co-written with Andrew F. Sullivan, whose recently released The Marigold is making a disgusting splash in the world of horror lit. These two twisted minds came together to create The Handyman Method, a meticulous and haunting dive into the weak male ego and toxic patriarchal structures.
Read the full synopsis below:
When a young family moves into an unfinished development community, cracks begin to emerge in both their new residence and their lives. A father wrestling with his masculinity, Trent’s attempts at DIY home repairs lead him down a YouTube rabbit hole—where online radicalization takes on a paranormal bent. Stepping into the bread-winning role, wife Rita tries to hold the family together as things go from bad to worse. A son left to his own devices, Milo’s iPad cartoons reveal the sinister side effects of too much screen time.
Dread Central spoke with Cutter and Sullivan about combining their writing styles to create an existentially repulsive tale about toxic masculinity, generational curses, and the darkest corners of the internet.
