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.

'The Girl with All The Gifts meets To Kill A Mockingbird' Claire North, author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

THEY CALL IT THE PLAGUE

A generation of children born with extreme genetic mutations

THEY CALL IT A HOME

But it's a place of neglect and forced labour

THEY CALL HIM A FREAK

But Dog is just a boy who wants to be treated as normal

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.

Industry Reviews

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

An amazing tour-de-force . . . One of Us rattled me to the core. An engrossing, emotionally-charged book and a work of terrible beauty. I loved it, heart and soul

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
