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.[1] 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 Devils Detective" and Unsworth's most recent novel is The Devils Evidence, a horror novel set in Hell.[2] 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".[2]
