Review:
The landscape of "Rust and Bone" is a war zone. With each story, the author digs both feet into the canvas and slings forth a blizzard of body blows that will knock you on your ass. When it comes to raw power, Davidson is truly a force to be reckoned with. --Thom Jones"
In prose so clean it has been stripped down to the bone, Craig Davidson gives us the demimonde of dogfights, bar brawls, and washed-up boxers that Hemingway first brought into our literature. . . . Davidson . . . is a writer of immense power and surprising, accurate insights.--Peter Straub
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 Palahnuik
