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: Fiction inspired by The Fall…

Celebrating the publication of the book, Stav Sherez, Matt Thorne & Peter Wild will be reading their contributions.

Venue: Upstairs at The Pineapple, 51 Leverton Street, London, NW5 2NX (Google maps link)
