  <default-description>&lt;p&gt;Mechanical ducks, shark women that taste of licorice, perverted sexual shenanigans in cramped office spaces, double-crossing Nazi apologists, bald-headed cultural subversives, and celebrity deer-culling-this is the wonderful and frightening world of &lt;em&gt;Perverted by Language&lt;/em&gt;. Twenty-three writers choose a song by The Fall and use it as inspiration for a short story.&lt;/p&gt; 		&lt;p&gt;Contributors include: Steve Aylett, Matt Beaumont, Nicholas Blincoe, Clare Dudman, Richard Evans, Michel Faber, Niall Griffiths, Andrew Holmes, Mick Jackson, Nick Johnstone, Stewart Lee, Kevin MacNeil, Carlton Mellick III, Rebbecca Ray, Nicholas Royle, Matthew David Scott, Stav Sherez, Mark E Smith, Nick Stone, Matt Thorne, Jeff VanderMeer, Helen Walsh, and John Williams.&lt;/p&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[The Fall has a distinct and changeable mood, a repetition of changing sameness, the slow drawl of a grunting screech. These stories, uneven and provocative, occasionally hit the target, but never the Mark E. Some finely crafted, others more slop across the floor. Outstanding - Matt Beaumont's &quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14322664">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A group of writers each choose a song by The Fall, and write a short story based on the title alone. When you think about it, their songs are perfect for this little experiment. A couple of the stories bring the great Roald Dahl to mind, whilst others...don't. It's a hit and miss collection that at ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21620809">more...</a>]]></body>
