Written by: Jake Beach
Layne Staley's lost journals are getting published in a new book that's coming out later this year.
“This Angry Pen: The Lost Journals Of Layne Staley” is set to be released on November 11, 2025, published by Weldon Owen and distributed by Simon & Schuster.
This book gives us an incredible chance to step into the creative universe of Layne Staley, the iconic voice of Alice In Chains. It brings together a rich collection of his handwritten lyrics, personal poetry, stunning original artwork, rare photographs, fan tributes, and much more.
For the first time, we get to explore the intimate, artistic side of Layne in a way that’s never been done before. His deeply personal poems, raw lyrics, and heartfelt notes reveal his inner thoughts and emotions, giving us a glimpse into the mind of a true musical genius who shaped a whole generation.
You’ll find his striking artwork, each piece telling its own unique story, and rare candid photos that highlight both the highs and lows of his life. Plus, there’s a beautiful assortment of fan art celebrating his legacy, showcasing the love and admiration from those whose lives he touched.
The collection reflects Layne’s emotional journey, offering insight into the depths of a man who poured everything into his art and his fans, even while facing his own struggles. Whether you’re a long-time fan or discovering him for the first time, this is a unique opportunity to connect with Layne’s talent and humanity like never before. His story—told through his words, his creations, and the lives he influenced—is a powerful reminder of the impact of music, artistry, and the human spirit.
