Mike Hudson has written for Hustler, Master Detective, Fate, Field and Stream, Lost Treasure, CLE, the Associated Press and Hey Daddy-O, as well as providing liner notes for releases on the Terminal, Overground, Crypt and Sonic Swirl record labels. Additionally, he has done time at the Sun-Journal newspapers in Cleveland, the Irish Echo, the Niagara (NY) Gazette, and the Corry (PA) Evening Journal. For the past decade he has served as editor in chief of the weekly Niagara Falls Reporter. Never Trust the World is his fifth book. A spoken-word collection of several of his short stories was released by the British Overground record label as All the Wrong People Are Dying in 1998. Hudson was the founder and lead singer of the seminal seventies American punk rock band the Pagans, whose pioneering recordings have charted in Rolling Stone and remain alternative radio staples around the world. Hudson's 2011 nationwide book tour, which included Cleveland compatriots Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys, David Thomas of Pere Ubu, and Bob Pfeifer of Human Switchboard, sparked a revival of interest in his work.
