Lousy With Ghosts is a limited edition 92-page companion book to my new album Always Been. These eleven stories take place in the same universe as the album's songs. They offer deeper looks at the main characters, and shine a brighter light on some of the people along the fringes of the songs.
Excited to read this... just ordered vinyl and book. I'm actually undertaking a PhD in Creative Writing at Lancaster University here in the UK - writing a novel of short stories exploring masculinities in a deprived coastal community - AND plan to write, record and release an album alongside too (v much been influenced by Willy Vlautin to date). Your work is gonna set a huge bar and can't wait to read and listen in April :) thanks, man.
Hi Craig! Greetings from Australia!! My husband is a huge fan of yours and has become absolutely obsessed with Always Been. I feel like it's been the soundtrack to the last couple of weeks of our lives. I've been trying desperately to get a copy of the book, but by the time the conversion rate happens and shipping is calculated it totals over $100 AUD. Is there any other way to get a copy of the book here in Australia? With love!
