A startlingly unique and powerfully affecting novel from a remarkable up-and-coming voice in speculative fiction. It is the story of a lost generation and a boy who just wants to be one of us.

'It's quite rare to find a story with this much heartbreaking impact . . . this is skilful, powerful stuff' SciFiNow
THEY CALL IT THE PLAGUE
A generation of children born with extreme genetic mutations

THEY CALL THEM DANGEROUS
They might be right
The story of a lost generation, and a boy who just wants to be one of us.

Praise for One of Us
-
Craig DiLouie's One of Us is without a doubt one of the best books I'll read this year . . . This book has The Island of Dr Moreau's social conscience, the X-men's imagination and Harper Lee's heart. But it is DiLouie's skill as a storyteller that blends all of that into a compelling work of near perfection

This is not a kind book, or a gentle book, or a book that pulls its punches. But it's a powerful book and it will change you
-
One of Us is a powerful and heartbreaking tale about hate fear, and truth. Craig DiLouie is fearless as he explores the dark territory of the human heart
-
Frightening in its familiarity, One of Us is a tale of human monsters and monstrous humans - authentic, brutal and inevitable
-
This seamless fable of loss, violence and hope forces us to examine what it means to be different and what it means to be human
