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.

  • Kitty Empire

    Observer
    This slight but weighty volume only adds to the man's muscular and vivid - in every sense of the word - body of work

  • Kevin Harley

    Record Collector
    Shades of humour illuminate the dark judiciously.

  • DAVID NOBAKHT

    Buzz Mag
    This latest title is a must-have for Lanegan fans, or anyone left hungry for more of his pitch-black wit
  • Record Collector
    Lanegan doesn't tread softly or treat himself easily. Maintaining the commitment to the unvarnished truth of Sing Backwards..., he presents himself as a nightmare hospital patient and a flawed human being. But shades of humour illuminate the darkness judiciously
