Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth – musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies – the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children.Ĭlick on the link below to know more about this title:. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet.
Grab this if you’ve read and enjoyed “Guts.Have you ever encountered a book or an ebook that does the trick of raising your heart beat, giving you goosebumps, forcing you to stop reading or making you lock it in a freezer because it’s so creepy. This fact might make me rate the book lower, but the inclusion of so many high quality short stories keeps the book itself rating highly. Ultimately, though, I would have liked it better as a straight-up short story collection, maybe even including the writer’s retreat as a short story by itself. Overall, it’s an interesting idea for unifying a short story collection. They’re gross, horrifying, and stick with you. All of this is to say that if you read and enjoyed “Guts,” you’ll like the short stories in this collection. That one grossed me out *almost* as much as “Guts,” and also had something deeper to say, I think. My second favorite after “Guts” was actually about an inn near a hot springs in the mountains. There’s also one about the possible origins of the Sasquatch myth. There’s one with people randomly getting smashed in a city. It also sets the tone for a lot of the stories in the collection. This was definitely the best short story in the collection, and I can see why it became so famous.

(Palahniuk has made it available online for free here). One of the short stories contained in this collection is Palahniuk’s famous “Guts.” The one that makes people faint. I found myself dreading them whereas I really enjoyed the short stories, which made for an uneven reading experience. But there also wasn’t enough realness in the connecting bits to keep me interested. I totally got what is being said about writers procrastinating by making drama in their own lives instead of actually writing. So they focus on twisting the facts and committing atrocities against themselves and each other to make for a better story.

Basically, the writers decide that they should spin what happens at the retreat to be as horrible as possible to help get a movie deal out of it after the fact. The short stories are awesome! The connecting bits of narrative aren’t so much. It’s a good idea, but it’s not executed very well. I like them to be all connected somehow, even if it’s just by theme, so at first I really liked the idea of a collection of short stories written by people at a writer’s retreat.
All of which is to say, I’m pretty biased toward being a fan of anything Palahniuk does. I also point to Palahniuk as a way to say that vulgarity and horror do not equate to bad writing. To this day, I view the book (and the movie) as exemplary artforms that demonstrate how genre literature can say something incredibly serious and deep. Fight Club spoke to me when I was at my late teens most intense angst that is indescribable. What happens to these writers is interspersed with poetry about each person and short stories written by each of them while locked in the retreat. Trapped in a dusty old theater, they quickly become focused on an entirely different type of story. They wind up locked away in the opposite of the lap of luxury, however. Telling no one where they’re going, they vow to write the next great American novel.
