Alright, you lot. Gather round, grab a brew (or something stronger if you’re reading this after dark), and let me bend your ear about something that’s been brewing in the twisted recesses of my brain for far too long.
I’m Owen Croft, the deranged Yorkshire bastard behind all those other filthy, mental books, and today, I’m proper excited to announce, THE KNOBFATHER: Forget the horse head, meet the horse cock – A Barnsley Crime-Porn Epic. Have a listen to the intro below.
Picture this: A depressed chicken farmer from Barnsley, drowning in debt and hen shit, armed with nothing but a thick accent, a failing farm, and a cock so colossal it could double as a medieval weapon. One accidental OnlyFans upload later, and our hero Chris Dickinson becomes the Knobfather – Yorkshire’s most unlikely enforcer for the local crime family, a viral porn sensation, and the swinging legend who ends gang wars with a single drop of his trackies.
It’s dark. It’s filthy. It’s packed with more knob jokes than your nan’s knitting circle could handle. Think The Godfather meets Boogie Nights, but with whippets, vegan ex-wives, rigged races, and enough Yorkshire grit to choke a flat cap. Black comedy at its blackest – suicide ideation, exploitation, and fucking dread, all wrapped in laugh-out-loud absurdity.
This isn’t just a book. It’s a proper Yorkshire fever dream that’ll have you howling one minute and wincing the next. Chris’s journey from clucks to fucks is a satirical slap at fame, the gig economy, and the sheer madness of trying to make it in a world gone daft.
The book will be out sometime in 2026 (I’m hammering the final drafts now, so no exact date yet – writing filth this pure takes time).

Family first, lads and lasses. Mind how tha go.
