Thursday’s Geoff Rickly is releasing his first fiction novel later this year. It’s titled Someone Who Isn’t Me and it’s out July 25 via Rose Books. The story follows a man seeking psychedelic ibogaine treatment for heroin addiction at a clinic in Mexico, and Rickly based it on his own experience doing the same.

Last year, Rickly took up with his Thursday bandmates for a string of shows opening for the reunited My Chemical Romance. The group also marked the 20th anniversary of the 2001 LP Full Collapse with an expansive box set reissue. Thursday last released a new album in 2011 with No Devolución. In the decade since, Rickly has made music with No Devotion and United Nations.
