Lullaby

He himself accidentally killed his own wife and child with the same poem twenty years earlier. Together, the man and the woman must find and destroy all copies of this book, and try not to kill every rude sonofabitch that gets in their way.

There are more plot ideas in Chuck Palahniuk’s Lullaby than some writers manage in a whole book

Palahniuk starts with a throwaway thought - "what if words could hurt?" - and stretches it until it snaps

A black comic cauldron bubbling with contagious ideas

Mr. Palahniuk further refines his ability to create parables that are as substantial as they are off-the-wall

This is vintage Palahniuk: weird, creepy, twisted, upsetting, and ultimately a great read
