Chuck Palahniuk is definitely my favorite author, so when I read the summary of his upcoming book, Snuff, I immediately hit the pre-order button:
-
Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera. With six hundred men. SNUFF unfolds from the perspectives of Mr. 72, Mr. 137, and Mr. 600, who await their turn on camera in a very crowded green room. This wild, lethally funny, and thoroughly researched novel brings the huge yet underacknowledged presence of pornography in contemporary life into the realm of literary fiction at last. Who else but Chuck Palahniuk would dare do such a thing? Who else could do it so well, so unflinchingly, and with such an incendiary (you might say) climax?
Sounds like another bestseller to me.

I’m quite the fan Palahniuk myself, even though I wasn’t much a fan of Haunted or Choke but loved Rant. I can’t wait to see what twisted characters he has in mind for this scenario. Love the cover, too.
Stephen, if you were really a fan of Chuck Palahniuk, you would know that these books are (along with Fight Club) the epitome of his brilliance. He is stamped thoroughly on each page. Sure, they might not be your “cup of tea”, but Palahniuk is famous for his disturbed sense of humor. If you didn’t like these stories, then you don’t really like Chuck Palahniuk… you just enjoy some of his works. Hence, you are not a real fan.
