Haunted By Chuck Palahniuk

95% of the pretentious, untalented, deluded assholes who call themselves "writers" will never, and should never be published in print. That is, unless they make enough to pay for it themselves, of course. The five percent who will, need to read this book. This is what writing is about. Chuck Palahniuk is who Stephen King was trying to be all along. As with King's better shit, most of Palahniuk's work will just float on over the heads of all those sheltered, naive soccer-moms banging away their banal little stories every night. It will float over the heads of most of you bloggers too. In fact, unless you can see, unless you have seen, unless you have stories inside you to tell, you probably won't ever really get Haunted.

Chuck Palahniuk isn't the world's best writer, but he's a real writer. He knows how to tell stories. He knows how to get you to see his pictures. You won't really get this book if you don't already know how depraved and cartoonish your fellow man can be, if you don't undertand how desperately most of humanity is to be noticed.
