Twenty-one stories and a novella that will disturb and delight, from the author of Fight Club. The absurdity of both life and death are on full display. In "Zombies", the best and brightest of a high 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-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.
