I am angry at Blade on the Feather and Skallagrigg going to series without telling me.

@Heavy_Load if you’ve not read Skallagrigg please check it out....

Skallagrigg. Too problematic to recommend (about people with severe physical disabilities and by someone without lived experience, using unhelpful and outdated language and justly criticised by disabled readers) but I wish it wasn't and am so grateful to have read it. Incredibly powerful.

I mentioned Stark on Twitter a few months ago, some random denied it ever existed. I can't post the cover of my book, it's 'Skallagrigg' William Horwood.
The only book I've known, that when you lend it out, it just doesn't get returned, it's that good. He's a SciFi writer, but that book wasn't.

You've reminded I should re-read the book Skallagrigg. A similar thing happens when a child with Cerebral Palsy finally beats her grandfather at chess after umpteen losses.

Is it skallagrigg maybe?
July 25, 2025 at 9:05 PM
It's been a while since I read something as good as #Skallagrigg by William Horwood. Is it perfect? Probably not, but it is really something...

My interview with William Horwood about his novel Skallagrigg.

The film starred Richard Briers, Bernard Hill, Ian Dury, Billie Whitelaw, Jamie Beddard and Nabil Shaban and won the BAFTA for Best Single Drama in 1995.
