Mechanical ducks, shark women that taste of liquorice, perverted sexual shenanigans in cramped office spaces, double-crossing Nazi apologists, bald-headed cultural subversives and celebrity deer-culling this is just a glimpse into the wonderful and frightening world of Perverted by Language. Twenty-three writers choose a song by The Fall and use it as inspiration for a short story. Kicking off with Niall Griffiths scalding take on the 1978 single, Bingo Master s Break-out , the book culminates with Rebbecca Ray s devilishly saucy take on I Can Hear The Grass Grow .
Industry Reviews
The best stories are laterally-minded flights of fancy... they nudge at the secrets contained in hidden worlds and parallel universes. It's this precise restraint that tantalises * Herald * Writers known and less so who've each managed to bring some fresh hell to MES's already weird and frightening world... a triumph -- Stuart Maconie * Word Magazine * Excellent * Independent on Sunday * Defiantly uncompromising... successfully evokes the spirit of The Fall * Daily Telegraph * Innovative and imaginative * Time Out * A witty, dark and often surreal anthology that's as enjoyably anarchic as Smith himself * Metro *
