Synopsis
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?.

Review
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) --Daily Telegraph
Innovative and imaginative (Time Out) --Time Out
A witty, dark and often surreal anthology that's as enjoyably anarchic as Smith himself (Metro) --Metro
