This is Dewi Prysor's first novel since his successful trilogy, Madarch, Brithyll and Crawia. Lladd Duw is located in London and a fictional seaside town, and deals with the end of civilisation. A dark and serious novel, which, as one would expect from the author, contains much humour.
Dewi Prysor Williams, or Dewi Prysor as he is more commonly known, is a Welsh author and musician. He was born in Dolgellau in 1967 and raised in Cwm Prysor, near Trawsfynydd. He lives in Llan Ffestiniog with his wife and three sons.
In 1992, Prysor was accused of 'conspiring to cause explosions' as part of the Meibion Glyndŵr arson campaign. He spent 14 months in Walton Prispon, Liverpool, while awaiting a trial. He was found not guilty. He subsequently wrote a drama based on this experience called DW2416, which was performed 25 times on tour by Llwyfan Gogledd Cymru/North Wales Stage.
