Book Description
In steel-tipped prose, Craig Davidson conjures up a bleak world populated by hardscrabble pugilists, fighting dogs, sex addicts, and others held captive by their own bad luck and bad decisions. Visceral and with a dark urgency, Rust and Bone is a strikingly original debut.

A solid effort by a solid writer,
By Ryan Ross (Charlottetown) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rust And Bone (Hardcover)
These stories are not for the squeamish. If you're looking for a nice, light summer read look somewhere else. There's a lot of emotion crammed into each of these stories, leaving out any fluff or filler. Each one packs a wallop and leaves a lasting impression which, when your reading, is always a good thing.
