This is an issue that comes up quite […]

A bit late to the game on this. But The Toronto Star published a short review of The ‘Geisters in Alex Good’s SF column a week or so ago. You can look at it right here. He writes in part: “Few writers do psychosexual horror as well as Toronto’s David Nickle, and with The ’Geisters

The ‘Geisters was on the receiving end of a really kind–and dare I say smart–review in the National Post this weekend. Natalie Zina Waschots was by her own account quite terrified reading the book, writing among other things: “There is not a moment, until the final, world-crashing reveal, that is spared from a sense of

Rasputin’s Bastards, my very long book about psychic spies during and just after the Cold War, is being picked up by Panini (France) for a French-language translation.

Literally. I’m pleased to announce that ChiZine Publications will be releasing my fifth book,  just in time for the holidays. And it’s going to be a bit of a departure–if one can call coming home a departure. Where previous books of mine have dipped toe in American history, espionage, Russian literature, new-age self-help doctrine and

Some happy news for a freezing cold January morning: the good folks at Iambik have released a nine-and-change hour audiobook of Monstrous Affections, my 2009 story collection from ChiZine Publications.
