description: Stories you'll never forgetjust tryfrom literature's favorite transgressive author Representing work that spans several years Make Something Up is a compilation of 21 stories and one novella (some previously published some not) that will disturb and delight. The absurdity of both life and death are on full display; in Zombies the best and brightest of a high school prep school become tragically addicted to the latest drug craze: electric shocks from cardiac defibrillators. In Knock Knock a son hopes to tell one last off-color joke to a father in his final moments while in Tunnel of Love a massage therapist runs the curious practice of providing 'relief' to dying clients. And in Expedition fans will be thrilled to find to see a side of Tyler Durden never seen before in a precursor story to Fight Club.Funny caustic bizarre poignant; these stories represent everything readers have come to love and expect from Chuck Palahniuk. They have all the impact of a sharp blow to the solar plexus with considerable collateral damage to the funny bone.
