Rust And Bone by Craig Davidson

A stark, visceral collection of linked stories that follows people on the margins—fighters, blue‑collar workers and caretakers—whose lives collide with sudden violence, injury and animal encounters; through brutal scenes and dark humor the narratives probe the limits of physical and emotional survival, revealing moments of fragile tenderness, obsession and hard‑won redemption as characters are forced to rebuild identity from pain and loss.
