"The Christoper Brookmyre of horror. Watson knows his genre and he’s not afraid to subvert it. Readers, on the other hand, will be very, very afraid." Louise Welsh, bestselling author of the Plague Times trilogy

"A really enjoyable, gore filled and thrilling read. A fast paced romp with a huge side salad of blood, guts and dismemberment." Ginger Nuts of Horror

"Ambitious and spectacular." Undiscovered Scotland

"Irvine Welsh with teeth." Snakebite Horror

"An exhilarating, wild, violent read." Booksquawk

"The skill of writing was unreal. An absolutely unparalleled use of tension, coupled with the horrible feeling that something is out there." Book Odyssey

They say to be a successful author you should pick one genre and stick to it. Lewis Williams hasn't exactly followed that advice: having written his first book on the singer Scott Walker, he followed that with a serious academic work on social policy, which he then followed with a trilogy of limerick books that were absolutely, categorically nothing remotely like his earlier books. He is now the editor of all four volumes of The Corona Book of Horror Stories series, with the first, third and fourth books also including short stories by him.

Lewis has two degrees in philosophy (which number might be considered two too many) and worked for a number of years for Oxford University before his ignominious departure from its employ. You can find out more about him by visiting his website www.lewiswilliams.com
