Will and Jay haven’t slept for days. After meeting at a party, they’ve gone back to Will’s flat where they can chat and kiss and fuck forever – but something else happens. In the aftermath of what he believes to be a haunting, and troubled by the memory of a radio show from his childhood, Will lands in America and embarks on an all-consuming journey. The first novel from poet Robyn Skyrme, 'Old Owl and Matt' is a queer road trip through memory, grief and magic.
