Other Books by Craig Davidson

You can find Craig Davidson's books at Toronto Public Library, and if they aren't at your local branch, you can place a hold:

Davidson was born and grew up in St. Catharines, and now lives in Toronto with his partner and their child. He is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and the author of three earlier books of literary fiction. Rust and Bone, a short-story collection published in 2006, was made into an Oscar-nominated feature film of the same title. His novel The Fighter was published in 2006, and his collection of intertwined stories, Sarah Court, in 2010. Also that year, as deputy-editor of a maritime-area newspaper, he wrote a weekly column called “This Weekend’s Top Bets”. His other articles and journalism have been published in many newspapers and magazines, including the National Post, Esquire, GQ, The Walrus, and The Washington Post.

Nick Cutter

Davidson has also written several books under the pen name Nick Cutter. He was called “Canada’s new king of horror fiction” in an article in The Globe and Mail last year.

Under this name, he has published such novels as The Troop and The Deep, and a collection of horror tales, The Acolyte.

As Davidson described himself on his website, he is an author who writes “[b]ooks about boxing and dog fights and zombies and werewolves and lunatic prison inmates and repo men and more boxing and vampires and sex addicts and grisly dismemberment via crazed killer whale attack. Not all in the same book, mind you".
