Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk
5.0

I enjoyed it! Some parts were kind of slower to get through, but then again, it’s all short stories written by the characters in the book who are on a locked in writing retreat. Some are good, some are bad. Some are absolutely disgusting, some are sad. I think the whole thing is very clever! You can tell it was well thought out.

The myth that was going around at the time (I heard it summer 2007) which made me go out and get the book was that “Guts” had been read at readings by CP and people were passing out or puking, sometimes both. 3 people died. Just a wild story! A clever way to see what it was all about and “see if you were brave enough”. As gross as “Guts” is, I got through it haha!
