Staff Recommendation: Stranger than Fiction

Ideal for fans of Chuck's macabre storytelling, this collection of essays gives peerless insight into the contours of his mindscape. From interviewing Marilyn Manson to attending a Demolition Derby, from a glamorous season of steroid abuse to an incognito appearance at a shopping mall dressed in an animal costume, this book is as wild and wacky as they come.

Rant by Chuck Palahniuk

Not for the faint of heart, and composed of interviews from friends, family and shocked onlookers, the oral biography of Bust "Rant" Casey is a tale of a world split in two where crashing your car is the newest form of entertainment, and a gateway into another mental state. This twisted, dark and utterly human world could only be composed by the inimitable Chuck Palahniuk.
