I first read a review of this book in a magazine. What drew my interest to even reading it was that it said during a reading someone literally threw up while one of the scenes was being read. I will advise you that this book is very twisted, dark, perverse, and sometimes hilarious. I have always loved this book most by Chuck because it was the first one I ever read and it really shocked me on some levels and has always left me wanting more of his writing. This story has multiple story tellers that are all part of a main story and tell their personal stories individually. It is a good way to feel connected to the characters and to really get inside their heads. Haunted is not for those who do not like gore, strangeness, or perversion in their books but I do recommend it if you enjoy something strange, the multiple point of view type stories, and are not afraid to be haunted.

Haunted A Novel Chuck Palahniuk 8601419946990 Books Reviews

The book is okay condition to be used, but as I flipped through it there's a picture of batman in it. Im glad he's masked because It kinda creeped me out a little bit a picture of someones child in the book. They didnt check it before they mailed out. Could have been some creepy crawlers living in it.
Buyer beware when buying slightly used but in good condition items, next time I might get an actual kid! )
I've been a huge fan of this author since I read Fight Club back in High School. This style is definitely a bit different to that, as it includes a main narrative of the events peppered with individual accounts from each character, but still a great read. Please be warned that some of the stories can be quite graphic or grotesque, so if you're not into gore, violence or sexual content, this may not be for you.
Fair warning this is a dark, disturbing, and horrendously gruesome book. If you have a weak stomach, have difficulty with the idea of self inflicted violence in every conceivable form and fashion, or can't imagine a world where death is not the worst thing that can happen then this is not a book for you. Otherwise, Chuck will not disappoint.

Haunted is written in a somewhat unusual, at least to me, style. There is an over arching story that frames a collection of short stories, each of which is preceded by a short about one of the characters. The short stories are meant act as a window into the past of each character in the framing story. For me, this style was a bit of a problem. The contextual switches between the short stories kept distracting me. That coupled with the text's graphic content forced me to read the book much more slowly and in much smaller chunks than I would have liked.

My introduction to Haunted was an article on Chuck Palahniuk's site, The Cult, titled The Guts Effect. Guts is the first of the short stories after the opening scenes of the framing story. It does a good job of setting the tone for the rest of the book and is by no means the worst of what lay within. I don't know if I can convey to you how horrific this text is without giving too much away.

I'll say it again, fair warning. This is not a book to read if you're having even the slightest hint of stomach troubles.
I have very eclectic tastes in reading. My ideology no book is bad. Some unusual books, like this one, end up being awesome. This book caters to those who appreciate twisted thinking. It is also takes a deeply insightful yet intellectual look into the social, emotional and psychological aspects that comprise our humaness (for lack of a better term) without apology for being brutally open, honest and blunt about those things that we may not like about being imperfect in our humanity, but that are albeit truisms. You will see yourself in some way, shape or fashion in one or some of these characters.

Admittedly, the book from the first chapter made my stomach turn and I almost gave it up. I forced myself to continue. I found that a well woven story developed and I could not put it down. Hmm how would I describe it Alfred Hitchcock meets Stephen King meets Dr. Freud meets Dr. Jung...... and on and on. You get the picture. I do caution that if you don't like to be disturbed nor made to think - - really think about some not-so-nice human behavior don't read this. It aint roses and sunshine, but it will make you really think. Enter at your own risk and enjoy
