Douglas Gardham

Douglas Gardham is the author of the novels The Actor and The Musician, as well as the short story collection The Drive In. His debut novel, The Actor, was praised by Canada’s Globe and Mail as “a bizarre, David Lynch-like thriller,” which also called Gardham “the hardest-working novelist you’ve never heard of.”

Released in August 2018, The Musician continues the story begun in his acclaimed first novel, following a gifted performer whose talent hides a dangerous psychological mystery. Between the two novels, Gardham published The Drive In, a collection of twist-filled short stories that showcase his flair for suspense and unexpected turns.

A lifelong fan of music, movies, and books, Gardham lives near Toronto, Canada, with his wife, dog, and cat.
