Craig Davidson has published five books of literary fiction, including RUST AND BONE, which was the inspiration for a Golden Globe–nominated feature film of the same name; the Scotiabank Giller Prize–nominated novel CATARACT CITY; and the novel THE SATURDAY NIGHT GHOST CLUB, which was a finalist for the Rogers Writers Trust Fiction Prize. He also writes horror fiction under the name Nick Cutter: THE TROOP, THE DEEP, LITTLE HEAVEN, THE HANDYMAN METHOD, and THE QUEEN, amongst others. In this interview, we talk about Craig’s key influences (including Stephen King and Anne Rice) and how his work under the Nick Cutter name allowed him to explore the horror genre with books like THE TROOP. We also talk about his writing process, the validation of having Stephen King blurb his book, and much more.
