About this listen

For years Chuck Palahniuk has reserved his best storytelling for his readings, often choosing to read a new short story instead of whatever novel he is supposed to be promoting. Make Something Up compiles these previously unpublished tales for the very first time, plus the Byliner social media insta-classic "Phoenix" and Palahniuk's most notable pieces from Playboy.

All of the short stories in this collection are great, but there are a few that stand out huge. I think it will be different for everyone who reads it.

I loved this collection of short stories!

So entertaining that you dread having to press pause. The stories are very clearly written by the same mind. Some of the stories are difficult to decipher exactly what is happening, but the phrasings & images conjured kept me engaged. The passage with only a semblance of story where the guy gets EVERY SINGLE saying incorrect is hilarious & brilliant. Thank you Mr. Fight Club for the trip

Awkward & Riveting

Romance and Cannibal are my favorites. Expedition is very quotable. Also the second story, forgot it's name, for semantic reasons. I love Palahniuk word puzzles.

Typical Palahniuk, which is never a bad thing

He is not a good narrator he has a really strange affectation that takes away from the story
It's hard to explain its a tempo thing
Great thought provoking ideas would have been better served by a good narrator unless he meant to deliver his material in this way , in that case I would say eh..

Chuck is a very good author but....

AED self-lobotomy

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Each of the stories give the readers something to think about, as they are a commentary on society in many ways.

Short stories not for the faint of heart
