Thirteen year old Madison has problems: she`s overweight, ignored by her movie star parents, and in love with her adopted brother. She`s also dead. But not just dead. Madison is in Hell. Chuck Palahniuk`s latest, Damned, takes us on Madison`s journey through Hell, as she navigates the Hillocks of Discarded Nail Pairings and the River of Vomit, meeting everyone from Charles Darwin to Marilyn Monroe, with a colorful cast of characters (damned for unspeakable acts, like wearing white shoes after Labor Day), to determine why she`s really there, and whether she will be damned for eternity. In Damned, Hell really does exist, as a place where your only career choice is telemarketer (yes, that`s where those calls actually originate), the currency is Halloween candy, and `the in-flight movie is always The English Patient, never The Breakfast Club.` With witty, laugh-out-loud prose, and a twist like only Palahniuk can write, this dark comedic novel is sure to be ranked among his best.ISBN - 9780099552628
