Description

Prepare to meet William for an up-all-night slice of Halloween horror, Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Black Mirror and Frankenstein.

Henry, a brilliant but reclusive engineer, has achieved the crowning discovery of his career: he’s created an artificially intelligent consciousness. He names the half-formed robot William.

But there’s something strange about William.

It’s not his mangled body or his thick gurgling laugh. It’s the way he watches Henry’s wife, Lily. As William’s fixation on her grows and threatens to bring harm to their house, Henry has no choice but to destroy him.

But William isn’t gone. Filled with jealousy for humanity, for its capacity to love and create life, William starts to haunt the house. He lurks behind each locked door. Mutters in the eaves of the attic. Whispers in Henry’s head. William began as Henry’s creation, but who will end up in control?

William is a new kind of ghost story, where the haunting is not from another world, but from inside your home. Inside your head…

This is one for Stephen King fans, absolutely! If you love horror, you'll absolutely eat this one up.

I thought it had the perfect touch of horror, personality and AI. I loved the inclusion of the technology in this text - it felt very modern and creative, and I thought the inclusion of AI made it all the more terrifying and tense.

I don't usually read books in one sitting, but I couldn't turn away from this one. I loved it. It was everything I wanted. The characters were perfect, the story was engaging and tense, and the ending was truly shocking and surprising.
