'Expressionistic and visceral . . . exhilarating and unexpectedly funny' i PAPER

'Compelling' MOJO

'Shades of humour illuminate the dark judiciously' RECORD COLLECTOR

Poetic, raw, hallucinogenic and darkly witty, Devil in a Coma charts Mark Lanegan's terrifying, mind-expanding experience of acute illness and the confrontation it forces with mortality itself.

Struck down by Covid-19, drifting in and out of a coma, unable to walk and given little hope of survival, these diaries see Lanegan assaulted by nightmares, visions and regrets about an existence lived on the edge of chaos and disorder. In arresting prose and at times transcendent poetry, Devil in a Coma is one man's intimate reckoning with a lifetime spent cheating death.
