Devil in a Coma
Mark Lanegan
Formats & Editions
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SING BACKWARDS AND WEEP
'Expressionistic and visceral . . . exhilarating and unexpectedly funny' THE I PAPER
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.
