The Black Book is dedicated to all of those who suffer from the real world horrors of mental illness and addiction, and to those who didn't make it.
During the time the Black Book was under construction, roughly 50,000 people committed suicide, and another 50,000 died from an opioid overdose. I knew 8 of those people. I think about you all every day.
