"Life is like a circus - full of clowns, freaks and animals, but ultimately shit."
Skive is a picaresque black comedy novella loosely based on true events. Here is the blurb to peak your interest:
Presented with an unexpected opportunity, our anti-hero flees from routine and responsibility to the streets of London in winter. As he spirals down into the depths of insanity he collides with the mad, bad and noble.
Will they show him what it means to be a man? Or will he forever skive?
Artwork by the very talented Kate Broadhurst.

"This book was a fantastic metaphor for something I have yet to figure out, but also peeling away the layers we use to cover our lives, to give little things grace and meaning. It really captivated me."

"Skive is a good fiction with dark humor that makes you laugh and also compels you to ponder over the bitter realities of life."
★★★★★ S Bury (via Amazon)
"The fast paced nature of the book mixed with the unpredictable characters and predicaments really adds to the odd spiral into insanity that is present throughout the story."
★★★★★ Elisabeth Ward (via Goodreads)
"Touching on many issues, a seemingly easy descent into insanity, and the challenges/desires that we all pretend we don't face, the book offers a weirdly relatable and enjoyable read while taking you a little out of your comfort zone. Its a dark comedy that induces laugh out loud moments and even comical disbelief."
