The story of a lad who was on the books at Manchester City but got injured and never made it.
‘A vital writer, in touch with people and the natural and constructed worlds around us.’ —NICHOLAS ROYLE
Sky hooks are like glass hammers and bubbles from spirit levels, things you get asked to find on your first day in a warehouse. In this case it is also a metaphor for dreams.
Set in contemporary Manchester this story is about a lad who was on the books at City but got injured and never made it. It is a coming of age tale, and the first part of a trilogy.

Neil Campbell writes, “I wrote this book after labouring through a Creative Writing PHD in Northumberland. I wrote it fast. Back on home turf, this novella burst out of me like an animal.” Download it now.
