Quick and fun jaunt

The Handyman Method is a fun horror jaunt in the style of early Stephen King with lots of body horror and jump scares.

eh

has potential.. ending was.. eh. lacked in length and story was a bit vague

It was very 😊 good!

Shining and something else I can’t put my finger on! But it was a good listen! I liked it a lot.

Haunted house to a whole new level

Waited months for this one and it was well worth it. Quite possibly one of my all time favorites and I will definitely read again. I was hooked! Finished it in less than two days.

Started Fairly Well …Ended Poorly

This started off ok and ended not so great. I like Nick Cutter but this is not one of his best. I am emphatic to animals so the turtle outcome bothered me.

Read by a Handywoman

I found this to be very well written, but it reminded me an awful lot of the Amityville horror in many ways. Also a little bit of the movie house in there and maybe poltergeist. Put those in a blender and you get this book, the handyman method.

He’s baaaaack.

I’ve been waiting for a really solid Nick Cutter novel since The Troop. Some of his other books have been good, but weren’t quite as good as The Troop. I feel like this one is. Now I’m impatiently awaiting what’s next.

Gives “Desperation” by Stephan King vibes

This book had a lot of potential to be awesome- demonic forces, possessed kid, and creepy imagery. Also, the narrator did a fantastic job. Where it lost me was the way the book is written. To me, there are some points that just do not mesh well with the rest of the story. For example, something traumatic would happen to the characters and the next chapter would be like it didn’t happen. I know it’s a supernatural fantasy novel, but it would have been better if there was more of a human element regarding emotions. *small spoiler** like when the sons pet dies in an obscene manner, the next chapter both of the parents just act like it’s another Tuesday. I’m sure this is suppose to represent the disconnect and isolation that the entity was causing between the family members, but it made me feel like I missed something.

Peak Nick Cutter horror

Perhaps it was just because I was listening to this while working on home renovations myself, but this story really slapped. It's creepy, disturbing, has some interesting stuff to say, and spins a great tale with lots of interesting characters and an amazing evil entity. Highly recommend, one of my favorite listens of 2024.

Great but Short

This kept my interest till the end. I like that it wasn't your typical horror story. The Troop is one of my favorite books, so I was excited for this to come out, tho it was a little too short. I just don't understand what the hell Cutter has against turtles? What did they ever do to him? Spoiler alert: This is the second time he's traumatized me with a long, tortuous turtle death.
