And When We Finally Kill The Gods Neither Hell Nor Heaven Will Be Waiting For Them Because They Created

news about joey's book finally!!!

Raven Books has acquired actor and musician Joey Batey’s debut novel, It’s Not a Cult.

Senior commissioning editor Therese Keating acquired UK and Commonwealth from Molly Jamieson at United Agents, and the book will be published in September 2025.

Batey added: "This book is my love song to the gods of wild nights, woeful decisions and really rubbish pub bands. I am so grateful to Therese and all the team at Raven Books for bringing It’s Not a Cult to life – I’d be lost without you."

book synopsis:

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' and occasionally reaching the dizzy heights of 97 viewers on their livestreams. To say they are losers would be to imply they were in the race in the first place. But they believe in their music, and in each other. Their songs tell the stories of the Solkats: fictional northern gods of small things, mishap and mayhem. However, when 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 and everywhere in between flock to Northumberland, and each gig becomes larger and more lawless than the last, this effect starts to feel scarily. real. And if they 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.

the exact release date is sept 25th, btw

the next album has not been released because the gods know that if it was we would be unstoppable. They fear us. They're upturning inkpots cause they know what we'll become.
