Author: Nick Cave

Format: Hardback

Remarks on Condition : Dust jacket: very good, Pages intact, no marks, notes or highlighting,


A gothic novel by the Australian musician and singer Nick Cave, originally published in 1989. It tells the story of Euchrid Eucrow, a mute born to an abusive drunken mother and a father obsessed with animal torture and the building of dangerous traps. He lives in 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 edition is a revised version by the author that clarifies the plot and the characters.
