“David Niall Wilson is one of the horror genre’s best-kept secrets, which is unfortunate because he’s wildly talented and everyone who loves horror fiction should be reading him. His new story, “When You Leave, I Disappear,” an intense thriller of a tale that will haunt you long after you’ve finished reading, is a great place to start. And then go read everything else he’s written. You’ll thank me.”
—Ray Garton, author of Live Girls
“When You Leave I Disappear is a nuanced nested doll of a novella that always compels the reader to second-guess where reality ends and fiction begins, blissfully blurring the lines in between.”
— McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother
“Prepare to be transported into the world created by Wilson of a writer questioning the success and quality of their novels as they go on a journey to find their authentic voice. Allow the familiar to carry you through, as I did, until the edges of reality begin to morph into something else, something that will hold your attention until the last page.”
— Linda D Addison , award-winning author, HWA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, and SFPA Grand Master
“In an impressive display of virtuoso writing, David Niall Wilson marshals stories within stories and doppelganger characterization to explore one writer’s imposter syndrome. When You Leave I Disappear is quite simply a tour de force.”
— Steve Rasnic Tem
“When You Leave I Disappear is part mystery, part thriller, centered around the stresses and pressures of an author including the direction of their career, branding, name recognition, art for art’s sake, for the self, or for the audience, the legacy we leave behind, and of course, imposter syndrome. But this is also a novella focusing on discovering the love for and magic of writing, the meaning behind our words, the power of fiction and how there is a piece of the writer in every word, character, story. Wilson shows us what it truly means when fiction becomes reality and reality become stranger than fiction, when dead darlings—both real and fictitious—resurface.”
— Jiang, Nebula, Locus, Bram Stoker, BSFA Award nominee
“Skillfully creating layer upon layer of reality, blending paranoia with genuine magic, WYLID is a compelling tale from one of our most underrated modern horror writers.”
— Billy Martin author of Lost Souls and Exquisite Co**se
