"The Good Men" is a single story chapbook which will be published in May 2026 by Salò Press in their Infidelities series of chapbooks The story riffs off the 1962 film, "Les Bonne Femmes", directed by Claude Chabrol, with the genders reversed and the setting changed to Birmingham.
Back cover blurb:
The Good Men possesses a raw, jump-cut poetry and a sense of barely restrained existential crisis. The disaffected, somewhat lost characters seem to be searching for something that can never be found. The New Wave reimagined as the last wave as they are subsumed by inertia and ennui.
- Gary McMahon
In The Good Men, a superb switchback ride of a story, Hook displays yet again his mastery of the form, marrying a cinematic aesthetic with an admirable sense of control and economy, creating a subversive gem.
