Knife Fight: And Other Struggles
by David NickleStories of the mysterious and macabre from &“Canada&’s answer to Stephen King&” (Helen Marshall, author of Gifts for the One Who Comes After). In this follow-up to his award-winning debut collection, Monstrous Affections, David Nickle stretches the boundaries of horror into a sphere of &“uncertainty, of helplessness, of traditions and change. . . . The stories are sui generis in presentation, veering from the discombobulating nightmare that is &‘Basements&’ to the squid-laden eco-satire &‘Wylde&’s Kingdom&’ to the sci-fi love of &‘Love Means Forever.&’ When it comes to this book, only two things are certain; the stories never travel where you expect, and David Nickle is a monumental talent&” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). &“Don&’t make the mistake of overlooking the talent based on preconceptions of what horror might be—read one of these stories and see if you aren&’t hooked. . . . Believe the hype. David Nickle is very good.&” —The Globe and Mail &“Anyone even vaguely interested in horror or weird fiction owes it to themselves to give David Nickle a look, and Knife Fight and Other Struggles is a great place to start.&” —The Winnipeg Free Press &“Knife Fight and Other Struggles is a remarkable collection that drops some hi-fidelity weirdness on the scene. Nickle&’s prose has gorgeous lines of symmetry and a steel spine.&” —Laird Barron, Shirley Jackson Award–winning author &“Dynamic imagination, masterful writing of both the everyday and the nightmare, characters that breathe, and a dark sense of humor make [Knife Fight and Other Struggles] a keeper.&” —Jeffrey Ford, World Fantasy Award–winning author
