About Michael:
Over the past 25 years, Michael Williams has written a number of strange novels, from the early Weasel’s Luck and Galen Beknighted in the best-selling DRAGONLANCE series to the more recent lyrical and experimental ARCADY, singled out for praise by Locus and Asimov’s magazines. In TRAJAN’S ARCH, his eleventh novel, stories fold into stories and a boy grows up with ghostly mentors; VINE: AN URBAN LEGEND mingles Greek tragedy and urban legend, as a local dramatic production in a small city goes humorously, then horrifically awry.
Williams’ most recent release DOMINIC’S GHOSTS (2018) is a mythic novel set in the contemporary Midwest. Returning to the home town of his missing father on a search for his own origins, Dominic Rackett is swept up in a murky conspiracy involving a suspicious scholar, a Himalayan legend, and subliminal clues from a silent film festival. As those around him fall prey to rising fear and shrill fanaticism, he follows the branching trails of cinema monsters and figures from a very real past, as phantoms invade the streets of his once-familiar city and one of them, glimpsed in distorted shadows of alleys and urban parks, begins to look uncannily familiar.
TRAJAN’S ARCH, VINE, and DOMINIC’S GHOSTS are three of the books in Williams’s highly anticipated City Quartet, to be joined in 2019 by TATTERED MEN.
