Scott Nicholson (born June 24, 1962) is an American novelist specializing in horror or thrillers, often set in rural Appalachia.
[1] The anthology Thank you for the Flowers was a collection of 13 short stories in which Nicholson merges "the macabre with science fiction and fantasy tales loaded with everything from biting satire to fluffy sentamentalism."
Nicholson wrote stories that were included in Eden Studios's zombie anthologies edited by James Lowder.
