When I’m complaining about lit bros, I am not including that wild boy @stuhennigan.bsky.social — he’s a real one. So I am delighted to say that luckily, his novel is an absolute banger (a banger of misery, not gonna lie). You can get a look here, I’ve already given it away twice.

Big up Minor Lits for publishing the opening broadside from Keshed. This is how the ride begins - fragmented text emerging from a sea of black, after some words of wisdom from notorious feelgood philosopher Schopenhauer 👀👀👀👀👀

There’s an extract from Keshed by @stuhennigan.bsky.social in the brilliant @minorliteratures.bsky.social today.

This is the opening section of the novel, as the protagonist Sean regains consciousness.

Stu’s reading this bit at @serenitybookshop.bsky.social in Stockport tomorrow. Grab a ticket!

Big up superstar @yanina.bsky.social @minorliteratures.bsky.social for having us in here, been on my list of places to get in since i started writing again in 2018. This is the opening broadside from Keshed 💪💥

#GetKeshed with Minor Lits.

🫶 all props to you, Stu!
