Calcutta, a monstrous city of immense slums, disease and misery, is clasped in the foetid embrace of an ancient cult. At its decaying core is the Goddess Kali: the dark mother of pain, four-armed and eternal, her song the sound of death and destruction. Robert Luczak has been hired by a New York magazine to find a noted Indian poet who has reappeared, under strange circumstances, years after he was thought dead. But nothing is simple in Calcutta, and before long Luczak's routine assignment turns into a nightmare ... it is rumoured that the poet has been brought back to life, in a bloody and grisly ceremony of human sacrifice.
Romantic, poetic and heartfelt, Nick Cave's Sick Bag Song is a contemporary epic, somewhere between Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Wasteland
The first book in the riveting Juniper Song series, by the LA Times Book Award winner.
The message of Song of Songs. The Song's affirmation of love, loyalty and commitment, beauty and sexuality, is relevant for our day, pointing to the love and character of God behind human love.
