One Who Was With Me

I’m delighted to announce that my tenth novel, One Who Was With Me, will be published this Halloween by Earthling Publications, who did such a great job on my last Earthling novel, The Unblemished. Many thanks to Paul Miller. This book would not have happened without his gentle and patient prodding. You can find out more about the book here.

Conrad Williams answered a question about Dust and Desire: Has anyone read both Blonde on a Stick and Dust and Desire? Is the difference great enough to have both books? I've read Blonde on a Stick and I'm a big Conrad Williams fan, but I don't want to purchase a duplicate book. Hi Jerrod. There's not a huge amount of difference. I've changed a few bits here and there, but nothing drastic. Essentially the same novel with a different title. There is a bonus short story though...

Quotes by Conrad Williams

“You could be the ugliest, nastiest most miserable piece of shit known to man, but if you had a beating heart there was always a chance you'd turn into a diamond after a million years.”

“To those of you who are yet to plunge into the zygote pool and want to know what both plumbless horror and pure love feels like, have yourself a baby...”

“He was a prisoner to the calendar, he realised, as we all were. He thought in little boxes that were to be ticked off and filled with things to do. Almost every day he thought back to what he had been doing ten years ago, twenty years ago, further. He lived in the past, by his diary. He was a history man, his head full of dead leaves. It was a form of reassurance, he knew. There were too many roads into the future and he didn't like not having a map for it.

("Wait")”
― Conrad Williams, Best New Horror 23
