Charlie Stanlon is a serial killer. A ghastly, vicious sociopath who chains women to a table in his basement and tortures them to death. He has no friends. He has no family. He despises his co-workers. His only pleasure in life is to cause pain and terror...

...until the day he finds an adorable Boston Terrier and takes it home.

A 30,000-word novella from the Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of PRESSURE, DWELLER, and WOLF HUNT.

"KUTTER is easily the most perfect blending of dark (REALLY dark) humor, horror, and psychological suspense that Strand has produced to date." -- Elizabeth A. White.
