Summary
While Bunny plies his trade and sexual charisma door-to-door, nine-year-old Bunny Junior sits patiently in the car, exploring the world through the pages of his encyclopaedia. As their bizarre and increasingly frenzied road trip shears into a final reckoning, Bunny finds that the ghosts of his world - decrepit fathers, vengeful lovers, jealous husbands and horned psycho-killers - have emerged from the shadows and are seeking to exact their toll.
A tender portrait of the relationship between father and son, The Death of Bunny Munro is a stylish, angry and hugely enjoyable listen, bursting with the wit and mystery that fans will recognise as hallmarks of Cave's singular vision.
This unabridged audiobook uses a groundbreaking 3D audio-spatial mix, specifically designed for listening on headphones, creating a fully immersive experience for the listener. The 3D and spatialised sound was created by Terence Caulkins, Ryan Biziorek, Anne Guthrie, and Raj Patel at Arup Acoustics.
This original soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis was produced and sound-directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard.
Critic reviews
"Not just a wonderful read, it's also a heartbreaking one. Cave writes novels like he does lyrics, with strokes of blood and sulphur and lightning. He strikes at the mind and heart and is able to bring his readers to his knees." (Neil LaBute)
"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)

Great performance with atmospheric music
Enjoyed this dark tale and the lead character struggling to keep it together.
I emphasised with him and all helped by the strong performance of Nick cave and carefully put together music soundtracking.

One of the darkest books I have ever read. Loved every depraved bit of it!
So depraved but so engaging. This is one sick, dark book but I just found it so fascinating

Stunning. Combining many of Nicks talents
The best audio book I've come across so far. It's a work of art! Dark, mysterious and quite messed up.

Brilliant, I loved it
The best audiobook I have listened to. The combination of the storyline, the atmospheric music and Nick Cave’s narration had me transfixed. I finished it quickly, it was absolutely unputdownable. I won’t spoil it for you, apart from saying if you are at all prudish you might want to give it a miss. Otherwise, enjoy - you won’t regret buying it.

Rollercoaster
Please ignore the pathetic comments and negative reviews. This book was chosen for my ,all male, book group and was very well liked. Get set for a fast paced debauched ride that is mesmeric.

unlikeable main character
Struggled to stick with it as the main character is very pleasant and made my skin crawl and my stomach turn in parts. Always enjoy listening to Nick narrate. Enjoyed the ending

This story will stay with you
It took me a while to get into the rather dry delivery by the author but was very soon sucked into a darkly humorous and truly disturbing world. I feel like my atoms have been reordered!

A great Read
Having Nick Cave himself read the book brought a whole new dimension to the book.? His velvet voice made an already engaging and sometimes gut wrenching story even better.

If you like Nick Cave already, it's a must.
Dark, horrible, hilarious, beautiful.
Exactly what you'd hope for from a book by Nick Cave.
