Reviews

Praise for Craig Davidson

"Davidson smudges the line between comedy and horror, cruelty and mercy. His remarkable stories are challenging and upsetting. Don't look for comfort here."
--Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club

"There is a strikingly original tone to Mr. Davidson's stories. The prose is spare yet elegant, the insights are fresh and real, and best of all there is a boundless humanity in Mr. Davidson's writing: a love of life that is beautifully woven with an acute sense of its darkness."
--Clive Barker, author of The Books of Blood

"A writer of immense power and surprising, accurate insights."
--Peter Straub

"Davidson has a gift for writing about physicality, and violence in particular, with an ecstasy and intimacy that resembles A.S. Byatt on painting or Ray Robertson on music. In his hands a weightlifting accident or boxing match becomes an experience lived rather than described."
--Quill & Quire (starred review)
