Eight top paranormal books

Craig Davidson was born and grew up in St. Catharines, Ontario, near Niagara Falls. His books of literary fiction include Rust and Bone, which was made into an Oscar-nominated feature film of the same name, The Fighter, and Sarah Court. Davidson is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and his articles and journalism have been published in the National Post, Esquire, GQ, The Walrus, and The Washington Post, among other places.

His latest novel is The Saturday Night Ghost Club.

At LitHub Davidson tagged eight top works of paranormal literature, including:
Victor LaValle, The Devil in Silver

LaValle’s The Changeling and The Ballad of Black Tom are excellent, but his third novel hits all the right notes. Shades of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, with the patients at a mental hospital battling the uncaring staff and a monster (of sorts) roaming the halls.

The Devil in Silver is among Jason Segel's six favorite books.
