This is such a cool idea, I just ordered Good Boy, so more about that once I get it.

The Northern Weird Project is six fantastic pocket-sized novellas from authors based in the North of England who are also engaging with the North as setting, subject, and character.

Finished this one today and the atmosphere, ooooof!

Coming from a long lost Northern town myself it hit hard - the relationship between Tommy and Al is also impeccably written and absolutely engrossing.

Bravo @jodierobins.bsky.social, brilliant book.

Available now from @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social!
