Bon Iver, Tom Waits Join 'Adult Children's Book' Project

(Radio.com) Numerous artists from across the music spectrum have joined forces for the project Stories for Ways and Means, an ambitious, multimedia "literary mixtape" that Waxploitation founder Jeff Antebi conceived ten years ago for a good cause.

The project takes many forms -- an expensive coffee-table style book, 350 pages of stories, videos, visual art and narration. Bon Iver and Tom Waits will join the Pixies' Frank Black and more by contributing stories aimed at children and adults.

A recently released trailer promises paranormal tales, nature writing, and other whimsical yarns by famous writers and lyricists. The full list of contributors is quite long. See some of them here.
