Praise for David Nickle "The stories [in Knife Fight and Other
Struggles] 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 "Loves 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) "Believe the hype: David
Nickle is very good."
--The Globe and Mail "David Nickle is my favorite kind of writer.
His stories are dark, wildly imaginative, and deeply
compassionate--even when they're laced with righteous anger. He's
at the top of his game in this new book of short stories, and
that's about as good as it gets."
--Nathan Ballingrud, author of North American Lake Monsters "David
Nickle is Canada's answer to Stephen King. His writing charms even
as it slices like a blade between the ribs: sharp, subtle, and
never less than devastating."
--Helen Marshall, author of Hair Side, Flesh Side and Gifts for the
One Who Comes After "Rasputin's Bastards is a testament to the fact
Nickle can write anything."
--The Winnipeg Review "Eutopia is the kind of book I'd recommend to
literary snobs who badmouth the horror genre while completely
ignoring the multitudes of splendid books on the shelves. Nickle
comes from a different cut of cloth than a lot of current horror
authors. He's created a unique world that's a far cry from any of
the current trends in horror fiction. In fact, his style seems
generations removed from all the apocalyptic zombie and vampire
novels on the market. Thankfully, he understands that the most
important ingredients are strong characters, originality, and a
compelling story. That his novel is also dark, frightening, and
beautifully written is just icing on the cake."
--Chris Hallock, All Things Horror "Few writers do psychosexual
horror as well as Toronto's David Nickle, and with The 'Geisters
he's back with another tale of voluptuous terror and the
supernatural."
--The Toronto Star "David Nickle writes 'em damned weird and damned
good and damned dark. He is bourbon-rough, poetic and vivid. Don't
miss this one."
--Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother
