This stunning follow-up to Minds Went Walking: Paul Kelly's Songs Reimagined features contributions by Christos Tsiolkas, Kirsten Krauth, Tony Birch, Toni Jordan, Richard J. Frankland, Andy Griffiths, Melissa Manning, Mark Smith, Kirsten Tranter, Gillian O'Shaughnessy, Bram Presser, Jon Doust, Rhett Davis, Ben Hobson, Goldie Goldbloom, Emily Brewin, Neil A. White, Sarah Bailey, Cate Kennedy, Mykaela Saunders, and Arnold Zable.

From an automaton of Nick Cave to a man who can't keep his blood out of the food he is preparing; from a vengeful Uber driver to a spinner of souls; and from a boy caught up in a robbery to a girl desperate to save a failing greyhound, the characters who populate this short story collection have all been inspired by a Nick Cave lyric.

These 21 stories, from some of Australia's favourite creators, respond to Cave's visionary genius with their own original and unsettling tales of death, faith, violence, and love.
