DESCRIPTION:
Medico Della Peste said loved the movie Fight Club. I've never read ant of Chuck Palahniuk's works before loved the movie Fight Clubfigured I should read some if his novels since I heard such great things. But I guess I made the mistake of reading this one first. Now I am not squeamish by any means by stories or movies that have some sick or twisted way about them. When I was done reading the this book, my only thought was that it was OK. I could not help but feel like it was a bunch of nonsense. definitely don't like feeling ripped off when I invest my time in a book. I will definitely read some of his other novels though. Ad previously stated not sure if it was the right decision to read t. Amazon Customer said Absolutely Fantastic. Haunted pulls you in and won't let go. It manages to perfectly balance a variety of powerful and inventive short stories with an overarching story of the "authors" which keeps you blasting through the pages. Haunted ponders answers to life's biggest questions while pushing the envelope in "gross-out" detailed descriptions. A book that goes 100 different directions successfully..

I expected some very scary stories, or atleast something as shockingly disturbing as Guts, but I didn't. I re-read the novel and discovered, that while it may not be
The seven readers tackling the decidedly offbeat Palahniuk are, for the most part, refreshingly successful. The other side of all that spit and polish is that Palahniuk's humor is occasionally stifled. Some listeners may wonder whether the author's prose is so singular that only he might be capable of delivering it. Morey's narration is disappointing on "Guts," the novel's most notorious and gruesome tale, which has reportedly caused some listeners to faint. The pieces range from the stomach-turning to the satirical or the absurd. In gen
As the storytellers grow more desperate, their tales become more extreme, and they ruthlessly plot to make themselves the hero of the reality show that will surely be made from their plight. This is one of the most disturbing and outrageous books you’ll ever read, one that could only come from the mind of Chuck Palahniuk.. They’re told by people who have answered an ad for a writer’s retreat and unwittingly joined a “Survivor”-like scenario where the host withholds heat, power, and food. Haunted is a novel made up of twenty-three horrifying, hilarious, and stomach-churning stories
