Gwydion Books
A small, voluntary-run independent UK press, we champion imaginative stories that refuse to stay in one genre. Drawn to the surreal, the darkly humorous and the unexpected, we publish work that sheds fresh light on contemporary life.
In a collapsing Britain, Colm stumbles between deranged revolutionary factions, hollow job-centre work schemes, and surreal urban wastelands as he tries to make sense of a world that has broken its social contract.
The Pigeon King is a timely, razor-sharp exploration of failure, rebellion, and identity in a world unravelling from the inside out. It speaks to a generation trapped within labyrinthine bureaucratic systems which have enabled the expansion of precarious work and the reactionary culture.
