Get yourselves down East Bristol Books. Doing things right. Good to have a gander @stuhennigan.bsky.social 'Keshed' while I was there. #booksky #literature #books

The end of this book made me cry on the train. Don’t #GetKeshed if you want to preserve the tattered veil of your masculinity. @stuhennigan.bsky.social @ortacpress.bsky.social

Radio Leeds Book Club tomorrow morning, live at 9.15ish. Tune in if you wanna hear me talk about books by the dazzling triumverate of Naomi Booth, @jamesscudamore.bsky.social and @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social, plus whatever else Rima wants to bring up. Not saying which books though 😀

Saw Keshed out in the wild today @stuhennigan.bsky.social! They have it on the back of the front window display case where they keep all their recommended books in Gloucester Road Books in Bristol

Up on the @bookshop.org homepage now. Keshed is actually featured twice on the homepage at their moment, as The Margate Bookshop have it on their Feb Favourites list!

Keshed by @stuhennigan.bsky.social is the Republic of Consciousness Book of the month for Feb. Subscribers receive an indie press book in the post every month. Also, the Queen Mary Small Press Fiction Prize just announced their 2026 longlist. Wonderful books. Take a look! tinyurl.com/523wssk7

A fantastic event in Stockport tonight with @stuhennigan.bsky.social to celebrate the release of his debut novel KESHED. A dark and brutal look at modern masculinity, class and mental health which is also infused with Northern humour and a lot of love. Huge thanks to Jae for hosting!

Bloody hell, @stuhennigan.bsky.social that was an incredible, brutal ride! Keshed is an awesome novel - can’t recommend highly enough #getkeshed⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Purposely posting this at an hour when there's mostly Americans on my TL - the book's published in the UK but you can get free delivery in the US via Blackwell's. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Spent the week immersed in @stuhennigan.bsky.social's crackling fizzling merry-walloping novel Keshed and holy moses, if you like a book that grabs you by the arm & spins you around & boots you down the stairs & chases you down the street (in a good way!) you really must read this. It's tremendous.

And #BookPost is Keshed. Congratulations to @stuhennigan.bsky.social on the publication of your first novel and to @ortacpress.bsky.social for putting this out and creating such a beautifully produced (really) book. Wishing you a huge success. And, as always, #GoIndiePublishing

#GetKeshed in Australia

Still tix left for this is anyone wants to come #GetKeshed with me and Terri on Thursday in the intimate surroundings of @serenitybookshop.bsky.social. Gonna be a banger, as it always is when Terri's in the house 💥💪 www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/sto...

Just finished the extraordinary Keshed by @stuhennigan.bsky.social An incredible book. That's a very high bar been set early for my book of the year. Unflinchingly honest, powerful, visceral. It deserves all the plaudits and more. I really can't recommend it enough.

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!

Thanks also to everyone for the slew of amazingly generous posts, DMs, WhatsApps, emails etc today and this week, it's properly humbling to have such a dedicated, passionate and supportive bunch of friends and readers in your corner. Appreciate every last one, truly. Tomorrow: bed, bed, bed.

Guess which book i'm reading? @stuhennigan.bsky.social #getkeshed

Today's book mail (this time with the actual picture - what was I even doing?). Keshed, by @stuhennigan.bsky.social. Looking forward to reading!

Thanks @ortacpress.bsky.social, two copies of @stuhennigan.bsky.social's Keshed arrived. I KNEW I pre-ordered months ago, but I don't trust me, so I ordered (again) just before the launch. I think it is a book I will be glad to have two copies of any way. Can't wait to start. #GetKeshed #Twice

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... #Saturday #StocktonOnTees ☀️☕️📚

Exciting book post today! KESHED by @stuhennigan.bsky.social, beautifully published by @ortacpress.bsky.social: www.ortacpress.com/product-page...

Brittle, furious, engaging, urgent: a superb book launch of Keshed from @ortacpress.bsky.social by @stuhennigan.bsky.social tonight.

Brilliant evening celebrating the launch of Keshed by @stuhennigan.bsky.social. If half of what Stu and Terri and everyone else who's read it says is true, I'm ready to have my mind scooped out, blended, spat on, and shoved back in my head. @ortacpress.bsky.social

KESHED is brilliant. @stuhennigan.bsky.social happy publication day.

We were so thrilled to receive our office copy! Head to your local bookstore to find this unflinchingly bold novel out from @ortacpress.bsky.social!

Congratulations @stuhennigan.bsky.social!

Happy publication day to @stuhennigan.bsky.social.

Not one of ours but highly recommended... Congratulations to good friend of WR @stuhennigan.bsky.social on the launch of his novel Keshed, and kudos to @ortacpress.bsky.social for the way they've published it 👊

Happy book birth day, @stuhennigan.bsky.social🎉

Finished @stuhennigan.bsky.social's book at 3am last night & am still reeling from it now. It's the vital punch to the heart that simultaneously kills & saves - a beautiful, brutal howl & amongst the best things I've read. 🖤🙏 #GetKeshed folks, you won't regret it 😎👍

Enormous props are due to Henry for taking this on in such a bland, safe market. Much obliged to everyone else whose been involved and put so much faiith in it.

Out today!!! Congrats @stuhennigan.bsky.social and @ortacpress.bsky.social 🙌🏼 This book resides on the dark side of town - a razor sharp tale of what it means to be part of the human struggle. It’s superb - well worth £12.99 of anyone’s cash. #getkeshed

Seeing all the Keshed posts has got me when more hyped for the launch tonight - doubly so as I'll be getting my copy while I'm there. @ortacpress.bsky.social @stuhennigan.bsky.social

Shout out to comrade @stuhennigan.bsky.social whose debut novel KESHED is published today. You need this book in your life. Oh yes you do.

‘Keshed’ has arrived in the glamorous wilds of… East Anglia. Prince is here though. It’s a beautiful production @stuhennigan.bsky.social @ortacpress.bsky.social Bravo.
