Make Something Up: Stories You Can't Unread
Description
A daring collection of twenty-one short stories and a novella, this volume showcases a sharp, unsettling vision of contemporary life at its most absurd. Moving through dark comedy, grotesque invention, mortality, addiction, and human longing, the stories place ordinary people in situations that are often shocking, frequently hilarious, and unexpectedly poignant. Some pieces revisit familiar Palahniuk territory, while others offer new perspectives on obsession, violence, celebrity, and the strange rituals of modern culture. Caustic, provocative, and impossible to forget, the collection captures the author’s signature talent for turning discomfort into darkly entertaining fiction.
