Lullaby 267 reviews Chuck Palahniuk
Anchor, 2002
By the balls
+ as good as fightclub + Unexpected dark humor... how can you resist?
This book grabbed me by the balls until I was done. I normally take a few months to get through a book, like Choke, but this was about a week. I would have only liked more main characters to die.

Haunted: A Novel 103 reviews Chuck Palahniuk
Anchor, 2006
wow
I thought that this book was entertaining, novel, and well written. It tells a frame story beautifully, although beautiful is not really the right word at all. Not only was it thought provoking, but it provoked a strong reaction in general, a trait that is losing strength in literature today.

Tempting Disaster
Raw Dog Screaming Press, 2005
This anthology from the fringe examines our culture’s obsession with taboos and the added temptation that forbidden pleasures bring. Warnings of danger and peril only heighten our desire for those things we have been told are bad, wrong and have been warned against doing. Postmodernists and surrealists come together in these pages with renegade horror and sci-fiction authors to re-envision ...

The Million-Year Centipede 3 reviews Eckhard Gerdes
Raw Dog Screaming Press, 2007
This was the book that started it all!
+ A Revelation + The Million Year Centipede
Hi, fellow book lovers! This is one of my favorite novels that I've written. If you like Jim Morrison and the Doors; if you like dark prophecy, lizard kings and centipedes, creepy things crawling through the subconscious mind, 1960s counter-culture (and its modern echoes); if you like twisted ...

(First published in 2001, this book has been re-released because of the upcoming movie.)
Choke tells the tale of Victor Mancini, a recovering sex-addict and medical school dropout. A story filled with piercing social commentary accented by creative storytelling. Palahniuk presents the ...

Snuff 97 reviews Chuck Palahniuk
Doubleday, 2008
Not as good as his other books
I hate to be mean to authors because they're giving it their best (or at least I hope so), but this book made me feel like Palahniuk is just writing because it's his job. It wasn't a gripping tale like Fight Club or even Diary, and it was only 180 pages so it's only entertaining for a day. He ...
