Lane Staley is a best seller!
His book "This Angry Pen Of Mine: Recovering The Journals Of Layne Staley" has landed at No. 14 on The New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction best-seller list. The book is a look into the creative world of Layne Staley, and showcases his lyrics, poetry, original artwork, rare photos, and fan tributes.
"I hope this book gives you a glimpse of the son I knew, the one beyond the headlines, the one with a beautiful, creative, happy soul." Nancy McCallum, Layne's mother, wrote in the foreword.
One of the most iconic rock singers of the 90’s, Lane was also one of the most troubled, as his lyrics echoed his hard past and defined some of the most internal music of his generation. This book is definitely a great way to connect with the late singer, as his story is told with his own words, with his creations, and through the power of his music and art.
Proceeds from sales will benefit the Layne Staley Memorial Fund, dedicated to providing hope, education, support and treatment funds for heroin addiction recovery.
