Make Something Up

Stories you’ll never forget - just try - from literature’s favorite transgressive author

Representing work that spans several years, Make Something Up is a compilation of 21 stories and one novella (some previously published, some not) that will disturb and delight. In „Expedition“, fans will be thrilled to find to see a side of Tyler Durden never seen before in a precusor story to Fight Club.

And in other stories, the absurdity of both life and death are on full display; in „Zombies“, the best and brightest of a high school prep school become tragically addicted to the latest drug craze: electric shocks from cardiac defibrillators. In „Knock, Knock“, a son hopes to tell one last off-color joke to a father in his final moments, while in „Tunnel of Love“, a massage therapist runs the curious practice of providing ‘relief’ to dying clients.

Funny, caustic, bizarre, poignant; these stories represent everything readers have come to love and expect from Chuck Palahniuk.
