Simon Kurt Unsworth (born 1972) is a British writer of supernatural fiction. Unsworth was born in Manchester, England. He grew up in Chorlton-cum-Hardy. He was educated at Manchester Grammar School and the University of Dundee where he received a Master of Arts degree in Psychology (Hons).
Unsworth's first novel is called The Devil's Detective and Unsworth's most recent novel is The Devil's Evidence, a horror novel set in Hell. James Lovegrove, in a review for the Financial Times, called the novel "an entertaining Dantean spin on the police procedural...The Devil's Detective is damned good".
