    Chuck Palahniuk has said about his world: “It can go to some dark places, but I always hope that it’s a trip worth making.” He is the author of 11 previous novels, including bestsellers Haunted and Lullaby, as well as Choke and Fight Club, which were adapted into popular films that have reached cult-like status. His newest novel, Damned—called the six-feet-under version of The Breakfast Club—is narrated by an effervescent 11-year-old who has awoken in hell after a marijuana overdose. With a satirical parade of the banal elements of earthly and post-earthly life, Damned is a signature dark manifesto on Hell as only Palahniuk could imagine it. Pre-signed copies of The Damned will be on sale at the event.
