Debut novel
Lairies is the brilliant and brutal debut, mapping the lives of violent young men at the start of the 21st century, living aimlessly but desperately hunting for purpose.
Shaun wakes up in hospital after a fight in a local nightclub and discovers his girlfriend has been assaulted. Ade and Colbeck were there that night – the climax to weeks of escalating violence, their two-man vigilante mission to kick back against a broken generation. A misguided plan to combat the lairies that blight broken Britain's bars, pubs and streets. What really happened that night? And how did it come to this?
Hollyman speaks to the heart of working class, small-town Britain, offering scathing insight into masculinity and the bleak realities of a man’s early twenties, lifting the lid on a world most would rather ignore.
'This is a brilliant book. Vital and violent.'
Heidi James, author of The Sound Mirror
'Lairies is an absolute triumph.'
Kerry Hadley-Pryce, author of The Black Country
'Hollyman deftly portrays the realities of some of society’s most disenfranchised young men ...'
The Skinny
'A helter-skelter whodunnit ... delivering an insider critique of masculine bravado.'
The Observer
