In 'Knock, Knock', a son hopes to tell one last off-colour joke to his dying father , while in 'Tunnel of Love', a massage therapist runs the curious practice of providing 'relief' to dying clients. And in 'Excursion', Fight Club fans will be thrilled to find a side of Tyler Durden never seen before. Funny, caustic, bizarre, poignant; these stories represent everything readers have come to love and expect from Chuck Palahniuk.

Product Information

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

"Twenty-one stories and a novella to disturb and delight." Bookseller "Looking back at Palahniuk's body of work it seems shocking readers comes naturally to him; if that is what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed here. He clearly relishes pushing boundaries, playing with the absurd and the grotesque as a way to hold up a mirror to society." -- Claire Inman Curious Animal Magazine "Palahniuk is in sublime, caustic form; his story subjects even more wickedly bold." -- Tanya Sweeney Independent "Savage, disturbing and frequently hilarious, this is writing at its boldest." Grazia "A rough but enjoyable ride." -- Chris Kirkham Shortlist
