Great evening celebrating @stuhennigan.bsky.social’s brilliant new novel #Keshed @ortacpress.bsky.social
Thank you! #keshed
Took a while but finished this recently. Raw and real. I deal with the grittier, heavier side of what this book contains on a daily basis so I can say with some confidence that there’s truth and gut-wrenching honesty contained within. It’s also beautifully northern. #Keshed

@stuhennigan.bsky.social is one of the most generous, talented and supportive people I know. Writers - pay this man to edit/give feedback on your work. Readers - read this man’s heartbreaker of a book Keshed
(the novel will also sucker punch you, I warned you) #keshed

The end of the world as we know it, and possibly the furthest contrast from @stuhennigan.bsky.social I could move onto read next. Guess I needed to recover after the weaponised emotions of #Keshed.
@stuhennigan.bsky.social I've been double #keshed 😀👍
Paperback of a book called Keshed by Stu Hennigan.

Looking down a still, calm River Tees to the Infinity Bridge in the distance. It's a sunny morning and a clear, deep blue sky is reflected in the river.
A queue for the small, blue San Seb Coffee van.

Three books on a small, light oak table - Keshed by Stu Hennigan, Multitudes by Lucy Caldwell, and Wild Embers by Nikita Gill.
Gorgeous riverside walk this morning, starting at #SanSebCoffee and carrying on to @drakebookshop.bsky.social (where I was very excited to pick up a copy of #Keshed by @stuhennigan.bsky.social!). Not a bad way to start the day...

It’s a book. “Keshed” by Stu Hennigan.
A double page spread from “Keshed” by Stu Hennigan. The pages are all black with the word “NOW” in large block lettering running across the two pages.

Great event tonight at the launch of @stuhennigan.bsky.social 's #Keshed. Great vibe and a really powerful read. #getkeshed.
If you're not reading #Keshed #GetKeshed now you're missing out on the seminal working class novel of our time.
Read it in 2 days, last week, not because I planned to, but because I couldn't put it down. Only now can I process its beauty, emotional payload and incision ❤️✊

While it's gonna be lovely not having to talk about too much political stuff at events for #Keshed, was pretty sweet with Ghost Signs being able to call him a cunt in the name of literature night after night after night. And if i forgot someone would goad me into it witbout much trouble 🤣
Getting into the zone for #Keshed by reading Jenn Ashworth’s Cold Light, which has been on my pile for a bit, and is on @stuhennigan.bsky.social’s list of adjacent tomes
"Derek Jacobi freely flying his freak flag, like he was coming up on mescaline and about to flip his wig....It was better than a lobotomy."

#Keshed has made another friend, the wonderful Jane Claire Bradley 🙏🖤🏳️🌈
"Incredible work. Couldn't put it down. It's got real soul and grit, beauty and horror, love and tenderness, momentum and energy [.....]I'm in awe."

Now this is a bumper delivery!
