Aidan Scott's pen is a burin and his novel is a woodcut-strong and very dark.
- Edmund White, Author of A Boy's Own Story
A novel of exhumations and collisions. The disinterment of an eroding world. The collision of hearts shaped by the meanness of life, painful as blade against bone. Scott tells his tale with subtlety, depth, and skill.
- Coy Hall, author of The Promise of Plague Wolves
With a keen eye for detail and a frankly astonishing dedication to accuracy, Aidan Scott's The Fisherman is a faithful homage to the lives and folklore of a culture now lost to history, yet precisely for that reason it is just as relevant, and just as poignant, as any great work for the modern age.
- Jack Moody, author of Miracle Boy and The Lights That Dim
A young man, newly married, travels north with his wife to live in a small fishing town known as Whitby. The sea is hard there. The land is harder. In time, he is confronted with his own essential nature as well as the primordial enigmas of this new environment. Set in the late nineteenth century, The Fisherman is written with both meticulous attention to historical detail and period-accurate dialogue reflective of that time and place.
