The bestselling author behind disturbing body horror novels like The Troop and The Queen, Nick Cutter, is venturing back into the wilderness next year with new horror novel, The Dorians.

Gallery Books publishes The Dorians on May 19, 2026.

In the new novel, “On a remote island in the wilderness, five elderly volunteers are given a tantalizing offer: to stall their biological clocks or even reverse them, restoring their lost youth. The chance to put death on pause—forever, perhaps. The remarkable secret lies in the high-tech harnessing of an ancient and extraordinary biological agent…one with no conscience, yet possessed with a single-minded purpose that has helped it persist for eons: the will to survive. The dark heart of unbridled human ambition finds its apex in an unholy experiment that now tests the limits of both creator and subject, eclipsing all bounds of morality and sanity.”
