Callum, Melusine and Al play in a band with no name, baffling audiences in terrible pubs across the north-east of England with their ‘sound’. Their songs tell the stories of the Solkats: fictional northern gods of small things, of mishap and mayhem. Absolutely no one knows what they’re on about. But they believe in their music, and in each other. And they’re happy.
That is, until an act of violence at a pub gig goes viral, they catch the eye of a disillusioned influencer and suddenly go from having a cult following to having a cult, following.
All the Solkats want, Callum insists, is to have effect on the world. But as fans from LA to Australia flock to Northumberland, and each gig becomes larger and more lawless than the last, this effect starts to feel scarily. real. Which poses the question: if the Solkats really do exist, which is it more dangerous to anger: a wayward group of elder gods, or your biggest fans?
Because gods and cults both demand sacrifices. And one way or another, they’re going to get one.

Fatal Folklore and Ferocious Fairytales: William Hussey, Joey Batey, AK Benedict Saturday 13th September / 1-2PM / GOLDEN LION / £11/£10 Meet three authors who tap into local lore and classic fairytales – and our deepest fears – to create wonderfully inventive crime novels. Paper men hanging from trees, strange prophecies, eerie waxworks, and rituals in the woods hark back to creepy, forgotten tales in William Hussey’s absorbing Burying Jericho. A band with no name singing about fictional gods inadvertently attract a fervent and potentially fatal following in It’s Not a Cult by actor/ singer Joey Batey. A serial killer obsessed with fairy tales is the delicious premise at the dark heart of AK Benedict’s smart and spellbinding new novel Little Red Death. This event will be chaired by television and radio presenter Bryan Burnett.
