“Are you there, Satan? It’s me, Madison,” declares the whip-tongued 13-year-old narrator of Damned, Chuck Palahniuk’s subversive new work of fiction.

The daughter of a narcissistic film star and a billionaire, Madison is abandoned at her Swiss boarding school over Christmas, while her parents are off touting their new projects and adopting more orphans. She dies over the holiday of a mari­juana overdose - and the next thing she knows, she’s in Hell.

Madison shares her cell with a motley crew of young sinners that is almost too good to be true: a cheerleader, a jock, a nerd, and a punk rocker, united by fate to form the six-feet-under version of everyone’s favorite detention movie. Madison and her pals trek across the Dandruff Desert and climb the treacherous Mountain of Toenail Clippings to confront Satan in his citadel. All the popcorn balls and wax lips that serve as the currency of Hell won’t buy them off.

This is the afterlife as only Chuck Palahniuk could imagine it: a twisted inferno where The English Patient plays on end­less repeat, roaming demons devour sinners limb by limb, and the damned interrupt your dinner from their sweltering call center to hard-sell you Hell. He makes eternal torment, well, simply divine.

I am a diehard Chuck Palahniuk fan and this book did not disappoint. It’s graphic, gross, and fantastically written

Disgusting and Fantastic

If you like Palahniuk, you'll like this. It's gross and weird and heart warming. The reader, Sophie Amoss, was the cherry on top.

Great voice acting. Deliciously bizarre story.

The sheer volume of pronunciation errors took away any enjoyment to be had from this otherwise engaging book. It’s almost like they were done intentionally since there were so many and many of the words were relatively common. It was very disappointing.

Unbelievable Pronunciation Errors

I liked the story. This author is always so creative but the narrator made it so entertaining and deserves a lot of credit.

Love the narration

One of Chuck's best and a must read/listen if you are a fan of his

Delightful

The narrator does not know how to pronounce basic words; an extreme distraction. Shame on the production team for not catching these mishaps.

Narrator Not Well Read

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Story is great as per expected from Palahniuk. Narrator needs to double check pronunciation before moving forward with text! Distracted the hell out of me (no pun intended).

Pronunciation:There’s an app for that
