edit data

Nick Horvath is the creator of SLEDGE: brutal anti-hero of the pulp action-horror SLEDGE-VERSE.

Raised in the frozen wilds of Minnesota, Nick studied Physics and English at Duke before embarking on a 12-year odyssey as a professional athlete. Towering at 6-foot-10, 240 pounds, Nick transformed himself from finesse player to bruising enforcer—a relentless grind that directly inspired his modern-day gladiator.

Currently operating out of New Zealand, he teaches physics and explores the violent collision between raw force and cosmic malevolence while plotting blood-soaked takedowns of shadowy syndicates.

He has not, to date, bludgeoned anyone to death with a hammer.

Nick Horvath and 7 other people liked Horror Reads's review of Sledge vs. The Wendigo: "Holy hell, Sledge is finally back and, I gotta say, this is not for the faint of heart.

The original page-turner. This book absolutely SLAYS. If you're looking for a "classic" that doesn't fucking suck giant donkey nuts, this is fucking it. It was written in serial, so every single chapter in it's 1000+ pages ends in a cliffhanger that ...more
