EDITORIAL REVIEW: *Haunted* by Chuck Palahniuk is a novel made up of stories: Twenty-three of them, to be precise. Twenty-three of the most horrifying, hilarious, mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales youÔÇÖll ever encounterÔÇösometimes all at once. They are told by people who have answered an ad headlined ÔÇ£WritersÔÇÖ Retreat: Abandon Your Life for Three Months,ÔÇØ and who are led to believe that here they will leave behind all the distractions of ÔÇ£real lifeÔÇØ that are keeping them from creating the masterpiece that is in them. But ÔÇ£hereÔÇØ turns out to be a cavernous and ornate old theater where they are utterly isolated from the outside worldÔÇöand where heat and power and, most important, food are in increasingly short supply. And the more desperate the circumstances become, the more extreme the stories they tellÔÇöand the more devious their machinations become to make themselves the hero of the inevitable play/movie/nonfiction blockbuster that will surely be made from their plight.*Haunted* is on one level a satire of reality televisionÔÇö*The Real World* meets *Alive*. It draws from a great literary traditionÔÇö*The Canterbury Tales*, *The Decameron*, the English storytellers in the Villa Diodati who produced, among other works, *Frankenstein*ÔÇöto tell an utterly contemporary tale of people desperate that their story be told at any cost. Appallingly entertaining, *Haunted* is Chuck Palahniuk at his finestÔÇöwhich means his most extreme and his most provocative.
