Join Repeater Books co-founder Tariq Goddard to explore the themes of his novel High John The Conqueror and take a deep dive into indie publishing.
Blending mysticism, class war, societal malfeasance and transcendence, High John The Conqueror identifies the point in our recent history when the ghosts of our past become the political monsters of the present. The book features on The Guardian’s Best Books To Give As Presents This Christmas list
