I would definitely start with /War in Heaven/, which does indeed seem to
have influenced Powers and Blaylock. The two best of his novels are, in
my opinion, /Descent into Hell/ and /All Hallows Eve/, but they are much
less accessible than /War/.
Williams' poetry is worth a look, but many people find it impenetrable.
It's certainly old-fashioned.
