So you know, looking at the wall, everybody who has slept in the bed you are about to sleep in. So they put you in this author’s suite, that always has these bookshelves, and um, all the books are all the people who have ever slept in that bed.
When you tour for books, most big luxury hotels now reserve a suite called the author’s suite, because they know that there is this constant tour of authors coming through town. Here's a couple quotes from the interview: In his interview with LitReactor's Kasey Capenter on his book Damned, Palahniuk likens Hell to his experience of staying in a hotel's "author's suite" while touring. This time, let's use something specifically Chuck-related. In July, we used a section of Dante's Purgatorio since Doomed is the second book in a trilogy based on Dante's work. oh, never mind, and climaxing in a rendezvous with destiny on the new, totally plastic continent in the Pacific called, not at all accidentally, Madlantis.ĭante Aligheri, watch your back, Chuck Palahniuk is gaining on you. Having somewhat reluctantly escaped from Hell, she now wanders the Purgatory that is Earth as a ghostly spirit, seeking her do-gooding celebrity parents, fighting the malign control of Satan, recounting the disgracefully funny (to us, anyway) encounter with her grandfather in a fetid highway rest stop in upstate New York when she. Madison Spencer, the liveliest, snarkiest dead girl in the universe, continues the adventures in the afterlife begun in Damned. You get a second change to win an Advanced Reading Copy of Chuck Palahniuk's upcoming novel Doomed (which doesn't come out until next month!) It's a follow-up to the popular Damned. LitReactor staffers can't win, but are encouraged to participate.Īll stories submitted on or before September 27 will be considered. We'll pick a winner on the last day of the month. We're not exactly shy, but let's stay away from senseless racism or violence.Įditing your entry after you submit it is permitted. Give it a title (not included in the word count, but keep it under 10 words). The whole story must only be 2 sentences. (You can write less, but you can't write more.) One winner will be picked and awarded a prize. You write a flash fiction piece, using the inspiration we gave you. We give you inspiration in the form of a picture, poem, video, or similar. UPDATE: Since it's only a few days in and we already have 76 (and counting) entries-we've scrounged up two more copies of Chuck Palahniuk's new book for a total of THREE books to give away to the best three entries! So keep 'em coming! Flash Fiction: A style of fictional literature marked by extreme brevity
