BOOK LAUNCH


Coming Soon @ Christopher Owens



After the success of his debut collection A Vortex of Securocrats, Belfast based author/poet Christopher Owens will be releasing his debut novella on Saturday 24th February via the Brighton based experimental publishing company Sweat Drenched Press.


Entitled “dethrone god”, it is an amusing, poignant and thought-provoking tale where the reader follows the unnamed narrator as he tries to get home from Belfast city centre from a night out. Along the way he annoys horny teenagers, gets a milkshake thrown at him and reminisces about is life. Crucially, he is also hiding a very dark secret.


Will he tell us what it is?


As much a character study as it is a love letter to the modern Belfast, “dethrone god” delivers on the promise evident in A Vortex of Securocrats and sets a high bar for Northern Ireland fiction in 2024 as well as an amazing cover from Belfast based artist Duncan Ross.

"An excellent book that gradually reveals its purpose. It made me want to read it again, which I was more than happy to do."


Gary Mundy (Ramleh, Kleistwahr)


"An intellectual, street corner treatise on Belfast and surviving its mean streets. Beautifully written, intelligent without losing any of its grit. Highly recommended."


Tony Nesca (author of About A Girl)


"Trainspotting through the lens of Bukowski."


Alexander Kattke (author of On the Compassion of Spiders)


“Belfast Noir par fheabhas.”


Brandon Sullivan, reviewing for The Pensive Quill 


⏩ Christopher Owens was a reviewer for Metal Ireland and finds time to study the history and inherent contradictions of Ireland. He is currently the TPQ Friday columnist.
