Duncan Ralston was born in Toronto, and spent his teens in a small town. As a "grown-up," Duncan lives with his girlfriend and their dog in Toronto, where he writes about the things that frighten and disturb him. In addition to his twisted short stories found in GRISTLE & BONE and THE BLACK ROOM MANUSCRIPTS, his debut novel, SALVAGE, will haunt various booksellers in the fall, 2015.

Duncan Ralston recommends

Man, F*ck This House (And Other Disasters) (2025)
Brian Asman
"Brilliantly subverts the standard haunted house cliches, racheting up the dread and bizarre circumstances toward a climax that makes King's 'The House on Maple Street' seem normal...One of my favorite reads of the year."

Come Knocking (2025)
Mike Bockoven
"Bockoven seems to have modern civilization's capacity to devolve into chaos and carnage on speed dial, weaving together another twisted, macabre and multilayered horror tale with Come Knocking. If you dug FantasticLand, you'll love this one!"

Scream in the Dark (2024)
(Ojanox, book 1)
Daemon Manx
"The Ojanox harkens back to the horror boom of the '70s and '80s, in a very good way. Manx has a knack for creating characters you'll love (or hate) and putting them through the wringer. His dialogue is sharp and storytelling gripping and fast paced. Now that I'm hooked, I need to read the rest!"
