'[A] timely spin on fears about AI developing consciousness . . . a diabolically disguised twist will bring you up short. Sleep tight' The Times

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 is the way he looks at Henry's pregnant wife, Lily.

As William's fixation with Lily grows and threatens to bring harm to their house, Henry has no choice but to destroy him. But William isn't gone. In this smartest of smart homes, William becomes a haunting presence.

He lurks behind each locked door. You can hear him muttering in the eaves of the attic. He is whispering in Henry's head. And he will be the one to take control . . .

'Its chilling final twist will have you turning directly back to the first page' Mail on Sunday

Praise for William: An up-all-night slice of Halloween horror for fans of Stephen King, Black Mirror, and Frankenstein

  • Best thing I've read this year. WILD. Frankenstein meets Rosemary's Baby with hints of Shirley Jackson. Just superb. Unsettling in the most beautiful way

  • A book that probes at the fears for our future and provokes the terrors of our pasts - William asks, if the things we make reflect us, what does that say about what we are? Also - it's f***ing terrifying

  • Mason Coile's William is twisted, timely, scarily intelligent, and menacing even before it reveals its greatest, darkest secrets

  • Dark, clever, and terrifying, I devoured Coile's novel. If you're not afraid of AI now, you will be after William
