A superb collection of a half—dozen intriguing short stories from one of Canada's best new writers, who has deservedly drawn favourable comparisons with Stephen King. Deeper is a true captivating offering and an absolute joy to read.
Cliff Jackman first captured international attention with the 2010 release of his first book, Deeper, a critically acclaimed collection of intriguing short stories that had critics favourably comparing him to Stephen King. Jackman followed this success with the release of his widely praised debut novel, The Black Box, and has now returned to the world of short stories with what is perhaps his finest work to date: Jackman's Cliff. Jackman was born in Deep River and raised in Ottawa. He received a Bachelor's in English from York University, a Master's in English from Queen's University, and a Bachelor of Laws from Osgoode Hall Law School. The writer and practicing lawyer lives in Guelph and works in Toronto where he finds no end of inspiration for the colorful characters that populate his books (discovered by Manor House, Cliff Jackman had his first three books published by our publishing house before he was picked up by industry giants Random House, Bantam and Doubleday).
