Make Something Up: Stories You Can't Unread

By Chuck Palahniuk

Book Overview

Stories you'll never forget--just try--from literature's favorite transgressive author

Representing work that spans several years, Make Something Up is a compilation of 21 stories and one novella (some previously published, some not) that will disturb and delight. In Expedition, fans will be thrilled to find to see a side of Tyler Durden never seen before in a precusor story to Fight Club. And in other stories, the absurdity of both life and death are on full display; in Zombies, the best and brightest of a high school prep school become tragically addicted to the latest drug craze: electric shocks from cardiac defibrillators. In Knock, Knock, a son hopes to tell one last off-color joke to a father in his final moments, while in Tunnel of Love, a massage therapist runs the curious practice of providing 'relief' to dying clients.

Funny, caustic, bizarre, poignant; these stories represent everything readers have come to love and expect from Chuck Palahniuk.

Customer Reviews

Up to his usual speed....

I reviewed a novel by this author that I thought was very poorly written. These collection of short stories are EXACTLY why Mr. Palahniuk is such a master of this genre. His stories will leave you unsettled (which is a good thing in horror/fantasy). Not a dud in the bunch and was worth the time.
