The story of a lad who was on the books at Manchester City but got injured and never made it. 'A vital writer, in touch with people and the natural and constructed worlds around us.' -Nicholas Royle Sky hooks are like glass hammers and bubbles from spirit levels, things you get asked to find on your first day in a warehouse. In this case it is also a metaphor for dreams. Set in contemporary Manchester this story is about a lad who was on the books at City but got injured and never made it. A brilliant coming of age tale from one of Britain's most exciting young writers. Praise for Neil Campbell's work 'Everyone who takes contemporary fiction seriously will want to read and re-read this book.' -Andrew Biswell 'The dialogue is note perfect and has a studied, savage banality.' -Paul Magrs 'These are stories not of love but of need and they ache with truth; they are as eerie and lonely as any Hopper painting.' -Nuala Ni Chonchuir Neil Campbell writes, "I wrote this book after labouring through a Creative Writing PHD in Northumberland. I wrote it fast. Back on home turf, this novella burst out of me like an animal." Download it now.
