Five dying people: On a remote island in the Canadian wilderness, five elderly volunteers are offering themselves up to an extraordinary secret experiment: they'll take a miracle drug, one that promises to stall the human biological clock or even reverse it, to restore lost youth. The chance to put death on pause, perhaps forever.
One miracle cure: By harnessing an ancient and extraordinary biological agent, scientists can turn back time for their five patients. But this real-world fountain of youth is derived from the DNA of something with no heart, no mind and no conscience, something possessed with a single-minded purpose: the will to survive, whatever it takes.
What could possibly go wrong: And as the experiment takes on a terrifying life of its own, those few who are able to fight back will have to use everything they've got just to stay alive . . . and human.
A terrifying descent into mayhem, murder and madness from the twisted mind behind THE TROOP and THE DEEP.©2026 Nick Cutter (P)2026 Simon & Schuster Audio

Critic reviews
A grisly squirmfest... Cutter drives it to a crackling finale that unfolds, appropriately, during a dark and stormy night. Horror fans with a taste for the gruesome will not be disappointed
What if Nick Cutter, the viral horror mastermind who gave us the skin-crawling terror of The Troop, basically did his take on Cocoon? That's a juicy premise, but even that is underselling what's going on in The Dorians, Cutter's latest major novel... Don't miss this one
The Dorians is a grand slam, a major new work by a major author in the horror field, and one that will leave your reeling, and thinking, long after you've finished with it
What if you could stay forever young, like the popular tune suggests? Five elderly volunteers are given that chance, but the cost may outweigh the reward when darkness comes to light in this inventive horror tale
Gripping, original, and existentially terrifying... For fans of retellings in the vein of Unwieldy Creatures by Addie Tsai or the immersive realism of sf-horror such as in Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep by Paul Tremblay
Brimming with squirm-worthy moments and pure textural malevolence that feel like classic Cutter... It's also an ambitious character study of a group of people who feel their grip on the world fading, then find themselves forced to fight for lives they weren't even sure they wanted anymore. As an up-all-night horror story, The Dorians succeeds, as most Cutter stories do. But it also succeeds as something else: A warm character drama that is one of the author's best works
This modern sci-fi/horror hybrid shares DNA with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but that DNA has mutated into something gleefully grotesque... Cutter once again shows his knack for straddling the razor-thin line between fully realized characters and skin-crawling body horror
