Prologue

I was covered in my own blood. It was sometime around 4 or 5 in the morning in the early 2000s. I was swaying and facing a brick wall on the outskirts of Boston screaming at it, “I live on the corner of Harvard and Comm Ave!” This is according to a former roommate who happened to be in the area at the same time. He later told me this is what he saw. He managed to get me back to my apartment. Two days later I would find out I had a concussion, a hairline fractured nose, two black eyes, one which wouldn’t open for another 3 days, a split brow, a chipped tooth, and no memory of what happened to me that night. The hallways to my door were stained with my blood. How did I get here at age 23? Well, first we have to go back to the beginning. 

RED, RAW, AND SAVED

From social media stardom to rock bottom and back again, this raw and unflinching autobiography chronicles Adam Prout’s harrowing journey through addiction, mental illness, and the occult. In the early days of internet sensations, the author rocketed to online celebrity status as the gender-bending gothic Adam Absinthe, only to spiral into a world of substance abuse, reckless behavior, and self-destruction. Readers will be gripped by harrowing accounts of:

Childhood trauma & neglect

Homelessness and destitution

Jail, detox, & the mental ward

Sexual compulsion & toxic relationships

Supernatural practices & demonic influence

A near fatal suicide attempt

Just when all hope seemed lost, an unexpected spiritual awakening brought redemption, healing, and rebirth. This powerful testimony of deliverance from the depths of despair and finding faith serves as an inspiring testament to the possibility of transformation and new beginnings through Jesus Christ.
