Eutopia "thoughtful, accomplished, recommended"

"Eutopia accomplishes what the best horror fiction strives for: gives us characters we can care about and hope for, and then inflicts on them the kind of realistic, inescapable, logical sufferings that make us close our eyes a little at the unfairness of not the author, but the world — and all the while with something more to say for itself than the world is a very bad place.

Thoughtful, accomplished, and recommended." - Leah Bobet, Ideomancer

The Hopeful Librarian loves Eutopia!

In-depth review of Eutopia

Bureau 42 gives David Nickle's Eutopia an in-depth look, giving the book high scores in areas such as story, imagery, and emotional response.

"Nickles [sic] shows with clarity both realistic settings and the more bizarre corners of his fictional world. I would quote some of the medical details here, but they’re really rather disturbing. Be warned, and read the book." - JD DeLuzio, Bureau 42

Eutopia 'strikes at nerve endings'

The Philadelphia City Paper reviews David Nickle's Eutopia, saying: "As much as Nickle incorporates a lot of interesting, smart background stuff, he remains squarely in the land of things that go bump in the night. ...Nickle knows that horror needs to strike at nerve endings and not get too cerebral..."

Eutopia gets "two thumbs up for originality"

"Nickle gets two thumbs up for originality, as I’m fairly certain there isn’t another story like this—you might find yourself turning the pages of Eutopia just so you can see how he pulls all these diverse plot threads together. . . . This is certainly a book to try if you like The Twilight Zone or somewhat twisted/strange stories."

Q&A with EUTOPIA's David Nickle

Curiosity Killed the Bookworm, a blog that previously reviewed Eutopia, now sits down with author David Nickle to discuss the book and his career.

"You know, I don't want to scare readers -- I want to worry them, give them the creeps, help them explore the sense that the world might not be as easily comprehensible as would allow them to continue feeling safe.... I really wanted to show people the strange places that lived in my imagination: my own twisted Middle Earth."

Eutopia gets a four-star review

Book blog I <3 Reading has given 4 out of 5 stars to David Nickle's EUTOPIA. They write, ""The writing style is bold, straight-forward and highly addictive. The storyline is well-thought-through, innovating, refreshing and at its core, deeply terrifying."

Another Eutopia review!

Tzer Island writes, "Nickle's writing style is at least a step above the ordinary. His prose is efficient; Nickle uses a few carefully selected words to set scenes that some writers would have wasted pages developing, a skill that allows the story to develop at a brisk pace. The mood and atmosphere are perfect for a tale of the supernatural."

Eutopia: "Seriously Creepy"

"This novel is seriously creepy. Do not read it on your own, at night, with the bedroom window open. I ended up jumpy and paranoid and then had to sleep with the window closed even though it was muggy and uncomfortable."
—Curiosity Killed the Bookworm

Eutopia review and CZP shoutout at Barnes & Noble

The B&N Community blog has a pretty darn great review of EUTOPIA up: "Horror and dark fantasy fans who are glorying in the new generation of brilliant writers like Laird Barron, John Langan, Brian Hodge, Kaaron Warren, etc. should better add David Nickle to that list. He’s that good."

The review also concludes with this aside: "And additional kudos go out to ChiZine Publications. I’ve reviewed almost a dozen of their releases over the last few years... and have not been disappointed once." Sweet!

The National Post reviews Eutopia!

Alex Good of The National Post has given his two cents on David Nickle's EUTOPIA! He writes, "Toronto author David Nickle’s debut novel... establishes him as a worthy heir to the mantle of Stephen King. And I don’t mean the King of Under the Dome or other recent flops, but the master of psychological suspense who ruled the ’80s with classics like Pet Sematary."

Eutopia reviewed at All Things Horror

"Nickle comes from a different cut of cloth than a lot of current horror authors. ...he understands that the most important ingredients are strong characters, originality, and a compelling story. That his novel is also dark, frightening, and beautifully written is just icing on the cake."

Publishers' Weekly mini-review of Eutopia

Publishers' Weekly says EUTOPIA "blends Little House on the Prairie with distillates of Rosemary's Baby and The X-Files to create a chilling survival-of-the-fittest story."

Top-Notch Novel: Eutopia

A nice web review from Nick Cato:

"While EUTOPIA doesn't hit the reader over the head despite everything going on, its slow-building tension works well with several pay-offs as the end approaches, and the many subplots never slow the story down--but enhance it. A top-notch novel all around."

Glowing Review of Eutopia!

"Nickle sets off the tale with a quietly cautious undertone of unseen terror, gradually grinding in an almost overwhelming feeling of clinging tension to the hidden core of the story. As the plot slowly peels away its layers, with the characterisation of our two principal protagonists already masterfully established, the haunting visions of this dark secret begin to emerge with the staggering impact of a charging leviathan."
