Get in touch with your ugly side. Collects Fight Club 3 issues #1-#12. "Whether you''ve been a fan since the ''90s or were hooked by the jump to comics, you''ll want to see what comes next in this highly unpredictable saga."- PASTE MAGAZINE "Fight Club 3 is everything that a sequel to a sequel should be. It elevates the dark themes of the novel and the first graphic novel to the next illogical, insanely violent step." - COMICON.COM "Palahniuk''s work takes some of our greatest shortcomings--insufficient or inadequate parenting, toxic isolation-- then magnifies and underlines them in fractured skulls and drunken vomit." - PLAYBOY "Scabby and surreal." - DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD "The first rule of the comic book incarnation of Fight Club is that it''ll look good." - HOLLYWOOD REPORTER "Ambitious." - ADVENTURES IN POOR TASTE "Trippy." - EVERYTHING ACTION "The talent and care that went into this issue is palpable, from David Mack''s cover to Nate Piekos'' lettering... This book does not allow you to get comfortable." - COMICWATCH "Stewart continues to do the Fight Club saga justice with his artwork...flies and all." - ROGUES PORTAL "Bold...Palahniuk doesn''t give us what we want here but rather what we need. Namely a story that makes the reader think not just about what''s going on but also about their own expectations of the archetypes portrayed in the story; the flies buzzing on the page hinting at a character''s intent; the name drop of "snowflake" for a caller I.D.; a subtle tattoo on the neck. All raising enough questions to leave us staring at every panel with the steely focus of a seasoned detective combing a crime scene for clues." - BIG COMIC PAGE

An all-new collection of short fiction from the author of Fight Club, that also doubles as an adult coloring book! New York Times bestselling novelist Chuck Palahniuk presents Bait: Off-Color Stories for You to Color, his first ever coloring book for adults. Bait is both the coloring book debut and the second short story collection for Palahniuk, author of Lullaby and Fight Club. The 8.5 x 11 inch hardcover album contains eight bizarre tales, illustrated in detailed black and white by Joëlle Jones (Lady Killer), Lee Bermejo (The Suiciders), Duncan Fegredo (Hellboy), and more. Each story is paired with pieces of colorable original art, nearly 50 in all! Palahniuk invites readers to collaborate on this unprecedented hardcover edition: "Maybe between your colors, the artists'' designs, and my stories we can create something that endures. Something worth keeping. Let''s create a well-bound book that can sit on any shelf and be available for a new generation to discover and enjoy." Palahniuk''s short stories are provocative and not for the faint of heart. (His public readings are notorious for making audience members pass out.) Kirkus Reviews described Palahniuk''s 2015 short story collection Make Something Up: Stories You Can''t Unread as "Pathos and panic and penitence from one of the darkest and most singular minds in contemporary American lit." Bait continues in that vein with stories about: A passenger on the Titanic who finds a surgical solution to the obstacle of "women and children first". A Hollywood star whose fading brand faces a viral (and scatological) internet campaign. An animal psychic who coaxes a statement from a fish that witnessed a political assassination. Increasingly terrible birthday gifts that place a girl at the center of an extinction-level event. Reviews for 2015''s Make Something Up: "Palahniuk finds sincerity among his characters even in disreputable occurrences."-- Publishers Weekly "He makes it absolutely clear that he''s still the man who wrote ''Guts,'' the infamous story that made fans pass out at readings." --Kirkus Reviews Reviews for Fight Club 2: "At turns deeply poignant and very funny, Palahniuk''s freakish fables capture a twisted zeitgeist and add an oddly inspirational and subversive voice to the contemporary canon . . . In the post-9/11 present, a hyperactive, Internet-obsessed, war- and recession-weary America apparently needs Tyler again."--The Atlantic "Chuck Palahniuk''s Fight Club 2 is as much a kinetic read as it is a pivotal watermark for the comic industry to receive such a high-profile cross-media debut. We are Jack''s eager eyes."--Paste

The career of a model ends when she is disfigured in an accident. Suspecting the accident was the work of her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend, she takes revenge by slipping him a drug to grow breasts.

O clube da luta é idealizado por Tyler Durden, que acredita ter encontrado uma maneira de viver fora dos limites da sociedade e das regras sem sentido. Mas o que está por vir de sua mente pode piorar muito. O livro serviu de base para um filme de 1999, procurando adaptar a atmosfera do livro, o mundo caótico do personagem e o humor negro do autor.

Mais qui est donc Buster Casey, alias Rant ? Dans un futur où une partie de la population est " diurne " et l''autre " nocturne " selon un couvre-feu très strict, Peste prend la forme d''une biographie orale faite de rapports contradictoires émanant de témoins qui ont connu le mystérieux Buster de près ou de loin. Garçon aux moeurs étranges, friand de morsures animales en tous genres pour certains, génial tueur en série ou répugnant individu pour d''autres, le véritable Buster Casey semble, au fil des récits, de plus en plus insaisissable et protéiforme. De quoi alimenter le mythe... Évangile subversif et grotesque où le rire donne la réplique à l''horreur, Peste décrit un monde qui marche sur la tête, où la vie est à mourir d''ennui et la mort positive et créatrice. Chuck Palahniuk explore, encore et toujours, les tréfonds de la vie moderne et dresse le portrait en creux d''une Amérique en mal de repères.

O nome deste livro parece sugerir inocência. Mas como o escritor em questão é Chuck Palahniuk, autor do cultuado Clube da luta, o que se tem aqui é o mais puro humor negro. Palahniuk usa sua narrativa moderna com temperos bizarros para fazer uma crítica à cultura de massas, num texto divertido e ao mesmo tempo sombrio, como é sua marca registrada. O narrador é Carl Streator, um jornalista que está investigando casos de síndrome de morte infantil súbita para uma série de reportagens que pretende publicar. Ele logo descobre que algumas das mortes têm um estranho detalhe em comum - antes de morrer subitamente, os bebês ouviram seus pais lerem o mesmo trecho de um determinado livro raro. Trata-se de uma compilação de canções tradicionais de culturas antigas, cujos versos da página 27 são capazes de matar qualquer pessoa que os ouça. O jornalista entoa a cantiga para seu chefe, só para checar se ela é mesmo capaz de matar - e ela é. Streator se torna um serial killer involuntário, desesperado para cessar a matança.Streator se entrega a uma série de questionamentos. Temos livre-arbítrio? Ou Deus determina tudo o que fazemos? Ou a mídia e a cultura de massas controlam nossos desejos e atos?

La vie de Shannon ressemble à un conte de fées pour adolescentes : mannequin jeune et jolie, elle se partage entre son petit copain et Evie, sa meilleure amie, mannequin comme elle. Un jour, au volant de sa voiture, une balle perdue lui brise la mâchoire inférieure. A jamais défigurée, tellement laide que son entourage fait semblant de ne pas la voir, Shannon est projetée dans un monde invisible dont elle devient un monstre emblématique. C''est à l''hôpital que Shannon va trouver son salut en la personne de Brandy Alexander, transsexuel excentrique près de l''opération définitive. Grâce à elle, Shannon va apprendre à se réinventer une autre vie dans cette société américaine où tout n''est qu''apparence. Lors d''une course-poursuite rocambolesque qui la conduit à travers les Etats-Unis et le Canada, Shannon, rompant le cercle des apparences, connaîtra enfin la vérité. Roman déroutant d''une noirceur assumée, Monstres invisibles surprend par sa forme élaborée et par le désespoir de son propos. Qui sont ces Monstres invisibles si ce n''est cette partie secrète de nous-mêmes qui triche sans cesse avec la réalité pour mieux coller aux apparences ? La lecture de Monstres invisibles laisse une sensation de malaise et de gêne. Le monde est-il vraiment comme l''auteur nous le décrit ? Palahniuk ne répond pas à cette question et laisse à chacun le soin de se forger une opinion.

Die wohl außergewöhnlichste Familiengeschichte der letzten Jahre Snuff-Film (v. engl. to snuff out = jemanden auslöschen) bezeichnet die filmische Aufzeichnung eines Mordes, der zum Zweck der Unterhaltung des Zuschauers und mit kommerzieller Absicht begangen wurde. Der Zweck des Mordes selbst ist seine Aufzeichnung. Auf einem Filmset sind 600 Männer und eine Frau zu einem ganz besonderen Ereignis zusammengekommen: In einem Snuff-Video der Extraklasse soll die alternde Pornolegende Cassie Wright von 600 Männern genommen und so ein neuer Weltrekord im Gruppensex aufgestellt werden. Allerdings wird Cassie diesen Dreh wohl kaum überleben, und das ganze Set rätselt, warum sie ihren Tod durch eine vaginale Embolie in Kauf nimmt. Keiner ahnt, dass zwei der anwesenden Männer nicht nur zum Gang-Bang-Weltrekord, sondern auch zur Lösung dieses Rätsels beitragen werden: Mann Nr. 600, ein Pornoveteran, der immer nur Cassie liebte. Und Mann Nr. 72, ein romantischer Jüngling, der mit Rosen am Set erschienen ist. Nicht zu vergessen Sheila, das Mädchen mit der Stoppuhr, das Cassie verdächtig ähnlich sieht.

Misty Wilmot est une femme frustrée : coincée sur une île défigurée par l''invasion touristique, elle travaille comme une esclave dans le grand hôtel du coin pour faire vivre sa famille. Son mari, Peter, un architecte qu''elle a rencontré des années plus tôt dans une école d''art, a tenté de se suicider et se retrouve dans le coma. Plus rien ne tourne rond dans la vie de Misty : pourquoi Peter, avant de vouloir en finir, s''est-il amusé à sceller certaines pièces des villas touristiques sur lesquelles il travaillait ? Comment expliquer les messages haineux qu''il a bombés sur les murs, annonçant la vengeance des habitants de l''île contre les envahisseurs extérieurs ? Pourquoi les autochtones se mettent-ils à la regarder bizarrement ? Misty décide de mettre ses peurs noir sur blanc et d''écrire un journal intime. Mais attention, la folie guette... Au fil du temps et de ses livres, les interrogations de Palahniuk se font plus complexes, plus intimes et plus profondes : ses récits deviennent de plus en plus inclassables ; ils louchent vers le fantastique, l''irréel et le paranormal. Mélange de Jung, Borges, Levine - l''auteur de Rosemary''s Baby - passé à la centrifugeuse Palahniuk, ce Journal intime est un cocktail détonant.
