Geoff Rickly, best known as the lead singer of Thursday, No Devotion, and United Nations, is set to release his debut novel Someone Who Isn’t Me on July 25, 2023 via Rose Books, the new independent press run by writer Chelsea Hodson. A fictional novel based on Geoff’s real-life experience at an ibogaine clinic in Mexico, Someone Who Isn’t Me is a feverish journey through the psyche of someone who no longer recognizes himself. When Geoff hears that a drug called ibogaine might be able to save him from his heroin addiction, he goes to a clinic in Mexico to confront the darkest and most destructive versions of himself. In this modern reimagining of the Divine Comedy, survival lurks in the darkest corners of Geoff’s brain, asking, will he make it? Can anyone?

Someone Who Isn’t Me will be available for pre-order on the Rose Books website starting on January 30, 2023 available simultaneously in a paperback edition as well as a limited-edition clothbound hardcover edition.
