The Tale of August West

A Memoir

By: August West

Narrated by: August West

This is a very real and bloody look at the journey I made from 19 to 29, starting with the first half written out of desperation, for fear of being killed, and the second half coming 10 years later once I finally lived an ending worth writing about.

I will walk you through the icy halls of drug addiction and dealing, college in Santa Barbara (specifically Isla Vista), depression, suicide, and overdoses. The second part of the book I could only write just recently, as I was, by the Grace of God, able to live the life I knew I always should. Please come with me through the very real and honest look at what it was like to be a young man in the 2010s and how through a million close calls, I finally found life.
