Make Something Up: Stories You Can't Unread

By Chuck Palahniuk

Book Overview

Chuck Palahniuk, literature's favorite transgressive author, gives us twenty-one stories and one novella in Make Something Up, a compilation that disturbs and delights in equal measure. In Expedition, fans will be thrilled to find to see a side of Tyler Durden never seen before in a precursor 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; and 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. You'll never forget them. Just try.

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.
