BAD MOON RISON

“Bad Moon Rison”is a raw, unflinching dive into the wreckage of a man at war with himself, his past, and a broken system. Told through the voice of Rison—a psych nurse turned reluctant prophet—the story blurs the line between survival and self-destruction, addiction and art, confession and creation. From drug-fueled nights and haunted relationships to verses that cut like scripture, Rison wrestles with demons both chemical and human in a world that mistakes sedation for healing. Brutal, poetic, and painfully honest, this book is not just a story—it’s an exorcism, a manifesto, and a reminder that sometimes the only way to rise is to burn.
