Shock Induction

From the bestselling author of Fight Club comes a dark, satirical parable about a string of mysterious high school disappearances, the seedy underbellies of billionaires, and the tough choices we make in the face of an uncertain future.

Review

'Wild, gross, undeniably energetic - like a punk version of Kazuo Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun' -- Anthony Cummins ― Daily Mail Scottish Bureau

'A biting satire that exposes American money, greed and elitism' ― Sunday Independent

'Palahniuk reinvents his writing style for this slim volume, which moves at a quick pace with lots of big ideas and dark humour' ― Variety

'Die-hard Palahniuk fans will lap this up' ― Publishers Weekly

'Readers' choice whether this is a coded message, a spiked cocktail, or just a secret love letter to art' ― Kirkus Reviews

'What sets Shock Induction apart in the Palahniuk oeuvre is its experimentation with form, rendered with a playfulness directed straight out of the page at the reader... Shock Induction is not your standard novel. But Palahniuk is not your standard novelist' ― Seattle Times
