Iced
A searing work of modern fiction tracing a man's decline into the depths of addiction
Taking the form of a diary, Iced charts the life of forty-four-year-old Cornelius Washington. Initially brimming with talent and ambition, his dabbles with drugs as a young man gradually turn into a destructive addiction.
Moving between the harsh realities of his present and the adventures and upheavals of his past, as Cornelius encounters a host of characters both intriguing and terrifying, Iced is at once a shocking account of the addict's life, and a compelling and often uplifting tale of human love and loss.
