Twilight in York

Dive into the explosive, raw, and vulnerable story of a man's search for sanity amid his increasing dependence on DXM (dextromethorphan), the active ingredient in Robitussin and other cough suppressant medications. You'll enter the underbelly of York, PA as the narrator navigates the streets and his new normal.

Halfway through 2007, Ryan Gray started to come to grips with his reality: the point where an addict senses his own futility, his own demise, but remains powerless to his own craving for a drug. As things get worse and he sees his own doomed fate, it opens the door to full and complete morbidity-Hell on earth.

Before this point, Ryan begins his life on the street like many others. He was introduced to the lifestyle by a native of York, whom he met on his first night on the streets. Soon, a whole new world opens up to Ryan.

His new friend, an experienced addict who has already adapted to the lifestyle, is very connected in the dark, underground street life of York and knows which drugs can be bought from whom. As he freely shares his wealth of knowledge with Ryan, the men become like brothers-always found side by side.

Still, Ryan was staring down the barrel of a loaded gun and knew it. Will he come to terms?

Twilight in York encompasses a narrative about immense suffering of a variety known only to the addict, the junky, or the dope fiend. It is raw, real, and relatable.

This second volume is a continuation and the resolution and conclusion of volume one. The two were written together, as a single work, and it is the intention of the author that they be perceived as such.
