Summary
Madison Spencer, the liveliest and snarkiest dead girl in the universe, continues the afterlife adventure begun in Chuck Palahniuk’s bestseller Damned. Just as that novel brought us a brilliant Hell that only Palahniuk could imagine, Doomed is a dark and twisted apocalyptic vision from this provocative storyteller.

Critics Review
It’s not for the faint-stomached. It’s also rather brilliant… A grand, funny, troubling and rewarding read… Maddie is my new post-alive heroine.
It’s not for the faint-stomached. It’s also rather brilliant… A grand, funny, troubling and rewarding read… Maddie is my new post-alive heroine. – Euan Ferguson * Observer *
Funny, bloody and always original. But then we should expect nothing less from the creator of Fight Club. * The Sun *
Instantly engaging (and excellently gory)… it makes Tyler Durden’s psychological problems look positively pedestrian. * Shortlist *
A fantastic exploration of modern fame, unfolding in typically opaque sci-fi style as we follow child-of-the-stars Madison after she overdoses on Oscar night and is driven to hell in a limo. * Grazia *
Hellishly good reading… Filled with Palahniuk’s sublimely detailed grossness and blacker-than-black giggles. * Bizarre *
[Doomed] has plenty of darkness, body fluids and body parts. It’s also very funny… but what’s often passed over in Palahniuk’s work is the genuine emotion: sadness, tenderness, pain, vulnerability. * Sunday Herald *
[Chuck Palahniuk is] an uncompromising storyteller…a sort of knowing nihilism that can be pungent, funny and transgressive…. He has a pop star’s knack for existentialism and kitsch. * The Times *
Satirical mayhem. * The Lady *
Convoluted, imperfect, this is nonetheless a grand, funny, troubling and rewarding read, and personally, I can’t wait for the third of the trilogy. * Observer *
An inventive pillorying of modern America * Independent *
