About the Author

S. Craig Zahler’s debut Western novel, A Congregation of Jackals, was nominated for both the Peacemaker and the Spur awards. His Western screenplay The Brigands of Rattleborge garnered him a three-picture deal at Warner Bros., and his crime script The Big Stone Grid is now at Sony Pictures. In 2011, a script that he wrote in the nineties became the movie Asylum Blackout, which was picked up by IFC Films after a couple of people fainted at its Toronto premiere. In spring 2013, his brutal Western novel Wraiths of the Broken Land was published by Raw Dog Screaming Press, who months later published his science fiction book Corpus Chrome, Inc. He is half of the epic metal band Realmbuilder (whose three albums have been released by I Hate Records of Sweden) and lives in New York City.
