Reviews

'I like the way he can paint a picture with what he says.' - David Bowie

'He was enigmatic, mysterious and with some of his latter recordings, to me, infuriating. An absolute musical genius, existential and intellectual and a star right from the days of the Walker Brothers.' - Marc Almond

'One of the most enigmatic and influential figures in rock history.' - BBC

'I feel I'm writing for everyone, but they haven't discovered it yet. They will - I'll just be six feet under.' - Scott Walker

Author Biography

They say to be a successful author you should pick one genre and stick to it. Lewis Williams hasn't exactly followed that advice: having written his first book on the singer Scott Walker, he followed that with a serious academic work on social policy, which he then followed with a trilogy of limerick books that were absolutely, categorically nothing remotely like his earlier books. He is the editor of all three volumes to date of The Corona Book of Horror Stories series, with the first and third books also including short stories by him.

Lewis has two degrees in philosophy (which number might be considered two too many) and worked for a number of years in a number of different roles for Oxford University before his ignominious departure from its employ. You can find out more about him by visiting his website www.lewiswilliams.com
