Frank

Less of a novel and more of a companion, this book gives insight to the factual events that inspired the incredible movie. This explains the events in a less cinematic way, and provides explanations to the changes that were made. The film portrays Frank as an ever-present figure, while in real life he was a persona worn by Chris Sievey. The film took many artistic liberties to avoid the trappings of a standard biopic, and excluded events that would have detracted from the point. Those events, including the fact that Chris passed away before the film's release, are included in this text. I am a devout fan of the film, and I recommend it to all struggling artists who are afraid to fit in with the mainstream.
