Damned

Palahniuk, Chuck. Damned, New York: Doubleday, 2011.

Written by Chuck Palahniuk famous for writing Fight Club his newest novel like his previous works is darkly humorous and satirical as it follows 13 year old black sheep Madison who awakes in hell and tries to make the best out of her predicament.

Additionally the novel explores her previous pre hell life with as she lives unhappily with her rich father and movie star mother who compulsively adopt children from the Third World.

Drawing its humor from satire of celebrity culture to its cartoonish depiction of hell Damned is a great example of black humor that Chuck Palahniuk is capable of.
