This novel tells the story of Euchrid Eucrow, the product of several generations of inbreeding and raw liquor consumption. Physically malformed and born dumb, he possesses an unusual sensitivity which he hides underneath engaging bravado.

'Bible-black humour...enough visitations, portents and religious lunacy to qualify as the second-greatest story ever told' - "Elle". 'It is as if a Faulkner novel had been crossed with "Whistle Down the Wind" and then narrated by a stoned blues musician' - "Daily Telegraph".

Outcast, mute, a lone twin cut from a drunk mother in a shack full of junk, Euchrid Eucrow of Ukulore inhabits a nightmarish Southern valley of preachers and prophets, incest and ignorance. When the God-fearing folk of the town declare a foundling child to be chosen by the Almighty, Euchrid is disturbed. He sees her very differently, and his conviction, and increasing isolation and insanity, may have terrible consequences for them both. This new edition of Cave's cult classic has been cut down and reorganized by the author so the plot is clarified and the characters stand out more clearly. The book retains all its brilliance but is much more accessible to the general reader.

VIKING

Author and singer/songwriter Cave's first book, which collects early lyrics from his recordings with The Birthday Party and the Bad Seeds (up to and including the Bad Seeds' record, "Your Funeral, My Trial"), short stories and short plays. Cave's dark vision, coupled with his strong connections to primitive folk and blues music, and murder ballads in particular, has yielded an artist whose music rivals the intensity and integrity of Tom Waits and Johnny Cash.

King Ink: Collected Lyrics, Plays and Other Writings

Black Spring Press

This second collection of Nick Cave's song lyrics and other writings covers the period from the ground-breaking album Tender Prey to the sublime simplicity of The Boatman's Call. In addition to all Cave's lyrics recorded with The Bad Seeds during this time, King Ink II includes several lyrics as yet unrecorded, as well as a number written for other artists and for the Wim Wenders films Faraway, So Close! and Until the End of the World. A short film treatment and a substantial essay on the subject of language and the Bible, "The Flesh Made Word," are among further material which is not available elsewhere.

King Ink II

Designed to resemble a contemporary version of one of Cave's early notebooks, Nick Cave - Stories was written and complied in collaboration with Cave by Arts Centre Manager of Collections and Research Janine Barrand, and features narratives written by Cave, Barrand and author James Fox.Forgoing the traditional exhibition catalogue format, Cave and Barrand have instead chosen to create a journal that includes Cave's own unique personal insights into the story behind selected items from Nick Cave - The Exhibition.Nick Cave - Stories grants access to the creative process of this prolific artist. The book traces Cave's diverse body of work from his roots in Melbourne to time spent in London, Berlin, Sao Paulo and back, to give a unique insight into how Cave meticulously documents his creative process while adding personal reflections and a taste of his dark but uniquely Australian sense of humour.
