Summary

From the bestselling author of Fight Club comes a dark, satirical parable about a string of mysterious high school disappearances, the seedy underbellies of billionaires, and the tough choices we make in the face of an uncertain future.

In Shock Induction, the best and brightest students at a seemingly reputable high school are disappearing. Every day it seems another overachiever is lost to an apparent suicide. But something far more sinister is lurking beneath the surf…

What They're Saying

Critics Review

Wild, gross, undeniably energetic - like a punk version of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun’ – Anthony Cummins * Daily Mail Scottish Bureau *
A biting satire that exposes American money, greed and elitism’ * Sunday Independent *
Palahniuk reinvents his writing style for this slim volume, which moves at a quick pace with lots of big ideas and dark humour’ * Variety *
Die-hard Palahniuk fans will lap this up’ * Publishers Weekly *
Readers’ choice whether this is a coded message, a spiked cocktail, or just a secret love letter to art’ * Kirkus Reviews *
What sets Shock Induction apart in the Palahniuk oeuvre is its experimentation with form, rendered with a playfulness directed straight out of the page at the reader… Shock Induction is not your standard novel. But Palahniuk is not your standard novelist’ * Seattle Times *
