Haunted

I'm finished Haunted, the latest novel by Chuck Palahniuk. I think he was chanelling Stephen King while writing this one, as I haven't squirmed so much since reading The Dark Half. I actually had to put the book down twice because it un-nerved me so much. The theme of the youthful "I fucked horribly up and I can't fix this" recurs, along with a constant parody of the apparent drive of many to acheive fame, fortune and immortality, even at the cost of killing themselves. I thouroughly enjoy Chuck Palahniuk's satire, and would recommend this one (especially if you enjoy Stephen King's work).
