  • 24 - Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk

    Please have a good look at the book cover of Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. This is a very good artistic interpretation of my facial expression after having read the first story in this collection. This book is infamous for it's grossness and controversial topics. So consider this to be a warning. If you're easily offended or don't like talking about anything remotely gross, please skip this episode.

    Paul joined me to discuss this book and we managed to make it a tasteful discussion considering the content. Why would somebody read this? Why was it even written? Join us on this episode to find out.
