SICKNOTE

SICKNOTE is a blistering plunge into the fractured consciousness of Judas—a southern misfit spiraling through poverty, addiction, religious delirium, and childhood exile. Set against the grey-washed backdrop of post-industrial England, Judas’s story unfolds in drug-fueled blackouts, violent awakenings, and fleeting tenderness.

Through a shifting narrative that moves between past and present, lucid and psychotic, Judas becomes both witness and perpetrator—of harm, of revelation, of a desperate need for meaning. At its core, SICKNOTE is about survival: not the heroic kind, but the kind that crawls. That remembers. That can’t stop confessing.

Darkly poetic, brutal in its honesty, and rich with feverish detail, this is not a memoir—but it bleeds like one.
