Have you seen or read Fight Club? I how did it make you feel? Did you wake up in the middle of the night and wonder if you had a split personality roaming around.
Haunted in equal respects is a novel that does the same thing.
Forget Steven King, Chuck Palahniuk takes ordinary objects and puts them in extraordinary situations. If he hasn’t done it already I’m sure he has put a Twinkie into some frightening situation.
In Haunted, the setting takes place mostly in a condemned isolated theatre. The story takes many individuals on a writer’s retreat in which the author gives their nicknames of which the story takes an orbit around.
WARNING…..If you intend to actually read this book then, be prepared for graphic sexual and violent situations. Be prepared to gag as you may or may not have done during a movie like Hostel, if you like that kind of stuff. But, also be prepared to think, that could happen in front of my face and I would never know it.
If you are a man that is entertained by internal organs and body parts that make appearances outside the body, this is for you…..if not Harry Potter or Daniel Steel might be your speed.
