The recently released paperback edition of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's "Journals" has an extra, added attraction: some 14 pages of new material, including an extended narrative about a semi-fictional serial killer, reports Billboard.com.

"Frankly, we had this (material) the first time around, but we chose not to include it, because it's disturbing and bizarre," Julie Grau, co-editorial director of Riverhead Press, tells the music site.

"We checked, and there was a serial killer that shared some of the traits and biographic facts that he writes about. But it's hard to know if Kurt was inventing all of this but had pieces of facts he recalled," she went on to say.

As for why the material didn't make it in the original hardbound version, "I think the first time, we thought it would skew the appreciation of all the material that was in here," Grau explained. "Now that the hardcover has come out and the journals have been judged and read, we thought people could handle it."

There's more to the paperback, too, including lyrics to an unrecorded song ("Travelin' White Trash Couple"), a recipe for cookies and a previously unpublished list of Cobain's favorite albums.

Among his picks are works by the Stooges, the Pixies, Rites of Spring, Butthole Surfers and Sonic Youth.

Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, now 39, also gets her two cents' worth into the book, penning a sarcastic note to him in black ink. It reads, according to Billboard, "Do you really want to intimidate and alienate people this much? This is the most characterless indie-rock snob list I have ever seen."

Grau labeled the album list a new discovery. "We did hope to find new stuff to include for the paperback months beforehand," she says, "but when Courtney recently moved houses, she found some more papers,"

Cobain's "Journals" were originally published a year ago and revealed what many critics considered a tortured genius. He was also, as judged by the book, someone who turned to heroin when doctors couldn't ease his constant stomach pain -- yet the idea of seeing a therapist and taking legal drugs for his condition never seemed to have crossed his mind.

Cobain killed himself in 1994, at the age of 27.
