About this Event
Welcome to Pints & Pages Book Club!
Pints & Pages is our bi-monthly late-night book club at Beer Shop | St Albans, where every other month we'll choose a new fantasy title for the group to discuss! Hosted by Laura, expect great conversation, and a pint (or two).
We'll be discussing the book from beginning to end so we do ask those attending to have finished the book prior to attending. We'll always make sure to give people plenty of notice on which book we'll be discussing, ensuring everyone has plenty of time to dive in!
About this book...
Title: It's Not A Cult
Author: Joey Batey
Actor and musician Joey Batey delivers a rollicking blend of horror and fantasy in his page-turning debut novel, as a hopeless band find their gigs take on a terrifying new significance when they start to sing about Northern gods of mishap and mayhem.
Callum, Melusine and Al play in a band with no name, baffling audiences in terrible pubs across the north-east of England with their ‘sound’. Their songs tell the stories of the Solkats: fictional northern gods of small things, of mishap and mayhem. Absolutely no one knows what they’re on about. But they believe in their music, and in each other. And they’re happy.
That is, until an act of violence at a pub gig goes viral, they catch the eye of a disillusioned influencer and suddenly go from having a cult following to having a cult, following.
All the Solkats want, Callum insists, is to have effect on the world. But as fans from LA to Australia flock to Northumberland, and each gig becomes larger and more lawless than the last, this effect starts to feel scarily… real. Which poses the question: if the Solkats really do exist, which is it more dangerous to anger: a wayward group of elder gods, or your biggest fans?
Because gods and cults both demand sacrifices. And one way or another they’re going to get one…
