Available as Paperback, eBook, Downloadable audio
A darkly funny and very moving father-son story from the world-famous musician
The world is a hard place to be good in…
Struggling to keep a grip on reality after his wife’s death, Bunny Munro does the only thing he can think of: with his young son in tow, he hits the road. An epic chronicle of one man’s judgement, The Death of Bunny Munro is also an achingly tender portrait of the relationship between father and son.
“A modern-day parable, illuminated with raw lyricism, scraps of tenderness and dark phantasmagoria. Accessible, thrilling and gloriously impolite.”

“Put Cormac McCarthy, Franz Kafka and Benny Hill together in a Brighton seaside guesthouse and they might just come up with The Death of Bunny Munro. A compulsive read possessing all Nick Cave’s trademark horror and humanity.”
irvine Welsh
“Like one of Martin Amis’s early characters, Bunny is an antihero of epic proportions.”

“Cocksman, Salesman, Deadman; Bunny Munro might not be Everyman, but every man ought to read this book. And read it half in stitches, half in tears.”
david Peace
“Pulses with demented musical energy. The reader is drawn along in Bunny’s terrible wake, with Cave’s writing style and pitch-black humour giving him an unsettling magnetism.”
