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.
