Description: Pius was given up by his parents at the age of five to a fledgling care home in Vancouver. He was immediately diagnosed with a rare terminal illness and placed into isolation. He lived in an underground airtight cell alone for twenty five years. Accidentally discovered by a visiting film crew Pius proposed an ingenious way in which they could use him in exchange to fund their next film project. What did he care what they wanted to do with his body. As long as he got out before he died. Even just to see the stars.

Pius Johnson a Down's Syndrome author who too was given up at aged five and locked up in some of the worst care homes imaginable. For most of his adolescence Pius was force fed sedatives each morning. He learnt to reject the medication and created art secretly throughout the day. Art enabled him to lose himself, find himself at the same time and get out. He has composed many musical scores, written several manuscripts and performed in many plays. He has kept a diary throughout his life where much of the material for "Pious" was derived. This unique and largely true graphic tale is now available for the first time.

WARNING: This book contains senseless acts of brutal violence, gore, sex, and swearing. It is a document of monumental idiot savagery. Please do not read this book if you are easily offended underage, lack a sense of humour or object to able-bodied people being hurt very badly.
