The Observer- Fiction highlights 2017

The Observer has chosen THE GALLOWS POLE by Benjamin Myers as one of their fiction highlights for 2017.

'Ben Myers' THE GALLOWS POLE  may well turn out to be 2017's HIS BLOODY PROJECT (Short listed for The Man Booker). It's a windswept, brutal tale of 18th century  Yorkshire told in starkly beautiful prose.'

THE GALLOWS POLE will be published in MAY 2017.
