#WhatWereReading : Joe, our resident cinephile, enjoyed The Book Was Better, by Louis Willder (pub @oneworldbooks.bsky.social ). From movies that insult the book, to films that actually improve on them (& guilty pleasure bad flicks), this is a perfect read for those who love film & books #books

My first novel Old Owl and Matt is on sale now — £13.50 + s/h to pre-order from Book Works. bookworks.org.uk/publishing/s...

Front cover: Deep green background, an illustration of what looks like trees at sunset. Title 'Old Owl and Matt' in bold bright yellow all-caps, centred. At the top, author name 'Robyn Skyrme' in the same bright yellow. Below, in white, publisher name 'Book Works'

Back cover. Solid bright yellow background. Text in deep green, serif.

‘The world was getting dark, and they willed it on. After a wrong turn, a bad guess, they walked a road familiar to neither of them.’

Will and Jay haven’t slept for days. After meeting at a party, they’ve gone back to Will’s flat where they can chat and kiss and fuck forever—but something else happens. In the aftermath of what he believes to be a haunting, and troubled by the memory of a radio show from his childhood, Will lands in America and embarks on an all-consuming journey. The first novel from poet Robyn Skyrme, Old Owl and Matt is a queer road trip through memory, grief and magic.

‘The heart of Old Owl And Matt is big and warm and generous, and filled with a smudged kind of purity that is always endearing, sometimes sublime. But nothing is just heart. The body of this novel is by turns terrifying, sensual, ecstatic, disturbing, and its mystery unravels and re-ravels. It clouds and clears like the surface of a lake. The storytelling is entirely engaging, and it is one of those books that feels like a companion, a friend, a presence.’ – Keith Ridgway, author of Dooneen and A Shock

‘Robyn Skyrme’s debut novel reflects a talent long on display in his poetry: an electrifying precision with emotion, place and meaning, and the desire to wield it in powerful, discomforting ways. As a book that’s both queer and ghostly, Old Owl and Matt prioritises complexity over comfort, and through his compelling storytelling Skyrme lets us sit with pain and loss in all its shapes, offering us almost euphoric glimpses of hope and joy within the cold landscape of grief.’ – Huw Lemmey, author of Unknown Language
