Perverted by Language: Fiction Inspired by The Fall

First in a series of fiction inspired by rock and pop bands.


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 .
