Mark Lanegan - Sing Backwards and Weep: A Memoir book

Heralded as one of the most harrowing depictions of addiction ever. 
Screaming Trees singer lays it down for ya. 

"If you ever wondered how Mark Lanegan's music came to blossom, here's a taste of the dark dirt that fertilized it. But saying that, or something like it, feels irresponsible, almost like saying 'If you want to make great, soul-shattering art, traumatize yourself to the limit and beyond' ... Sing Backwards and Weep is gnarly, naked, and true."-- Michael C. Hall of Dexter and Six Feet Under
