Doomed [Paperback]

Welcome to Purgatory. Chuck Palahniuk style. 

After a botched Halloween ritual, Madison Spencer, the snarkiest dead girl in the universe, finds herself trapped in Purgatory, otherwise known as Earth. The upside: she is no longer subject to physical limitations (she can pass through doors and walls). The downside: well, she's still dead. Her first stop is her parents' luxurious apartment, where she encounters her grandmother ghost. For Madison, the encounter triggers memories of the awful summer she spent upstate. As she revisits the painful truth of what transpired over those months, her saga of eternal damnation takes on a new and sinister meaning. It turns out, Madison and her parents have always been key elements of Satan's master plan—doomsday. 

Praise for DOOMED:

Palahniuk doesn't write for tourists. He writes for hard-core devotees drawn to the wild, angry imagination on display and the taboo-busting humor. —The New York Times

With his love of contemporary fairy tales that are gritty and dirty rather than pretty, Palahniuk is the likeliest inheritor of Vonnegut's place in American writing. —San Francisco Chronicle

Few authors have captured the pathologies of modern life quite like Palahniuk. --Rocky Mountain News

Like Edgar Allen Poe, Palahniuk is a bracingly toxic purveyor of dread and mounting horror. He makes nihilism fun. —Vanity FairCHUCK PALAHNIUK's twelve bestselling novels—Damned,Tell-All,Pygmy,Snuff,Rant,Haunted,Diary,Lullaby,Choke,Invisible Monsters,Survivor, andFight Club—have sold more than five million copies in the United States. He is also the author ofFugitives and Refugees, published as part of the Crown Journey Series, and the nonfiction collectionStranger Than Fiction. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.
