Paul Haines sliced through the Australian writing scene with his twisted and murderous black humour in 2002. He has since won many awards and praise for his dark and surreal stories. Paul places himself in stories that make you think twice about his sanity and good taste: 'Explicit, violent, misogynistic and nasty...stories are heavily cemented in my real life, and I love blurring them into the unreal'.

Each story in the Scenes from the Second Storey anthology was inspired by a track from The God Machine's album.

If you love The God Machine or are looking for a collection that boasts a stable of talented Australian writers, you must grab a copy of Scenes.
