Publisher's summary

This collection of transgressive stories has been compiled through a rigorous nomination and vetting process and hand-selected by Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club, as the best of The Cult workshop. These stories run the gamut from horrific and fantastic to humorous and touching, but each leaves a lasting impression. Some may say even a scar.

Only a few truly Palahni-esque stories

Most of the stories were pretty tame but there are a handful of truly twisted tales that make this collection a worthwhile buy.

Not bad

I kind of thought I would hear more stories like "zombie whore house" in this audible.

Great Anthology!

Definitely worth a listen. It put me in an anthology kick, as they're so easy to digest and stay interested.

Raw depiction of the dark side of human beings.

Not for the light hearted. It is alot to take in, but there are alot of deep meanings behind the dark stories. It brings out alot of the things people don't like to talk or think about.

Not Chuck.

I’ve been binging on Chuck Palahniuk in both audio and hard copy books and I felt kind of mislead by this one. The idea of it being a mix of different stories led me to believe it would be similar to Haunted, which was quite the thrill of a read. However, I quickly learned this was not the case and it was in fact a collection of stories by other less experienced writers. Looking harder I can see how I was mislead, just my own inattention to detail in the moment paired with the way the credits were worded. It is not bad, but it is also not that good if you set your expectations to that of reading one of his books. Some stories definitely have faint echos of the style of Palahniuk, but it was no Palahniuk. Definitely some gems in there, but as a whole not so much.

what the fuck?!

I am all for fucked up stories but the amount of times they use the word retard and another really fucked up highly discriminatory things I would never recommend this book to anybody. The writers who think this shit up obviously have some fucked up issues themselves.
