A5, 172 pages, Black & white printing, Perfect bound, Softcover, 2025 Billy Whistle is a twenty-something year old slacker with nowhere to go and nothing to do when he gets there. He spends his amphetamine fuelled days and nights barreling through a post-punk 1980s Birmingham city, acquainting himself with a motley assortment of misfits who all seem as addled as he is. Kind of like the Velvet Underground’s what goes on in your mind meets the Sex Pistols’ there’s no future for you. Druggernaut’s unorthodox screenplay / novel hybrid prose style and non-linear narrative lays the foundations for Billy Whistle’s sense of detachment from reality… And u.v.ray’s own commitment to forging new distorted literary forms.
