“Haunted is an interesting step out of Palahniuks usual bounds. i found the book to have grotesque stories along with the sad, pathetic and just plain wicked. He is displaying almost every aspect of human nature and what people are willing to do to get that one great story. Palahniuk also takes this further into a place where the nightmares of the human mind manifest causing madness and surprisingly ultimate enlightenment. i enjoyed this book to the point that i did not want to put it down, like fight club and choke, but it was a different kind of appeal. Haunted was just my kind of delightfully disturbing i guess and in no way did the book drag, for me it did seem to race. i stand by the fact that it is a masterpiece and like any great work of art not everyone will see it.”
