Burnt Tongues by Chuck Palahniuk
Transgressive fiction authors write stories some are afraid to tell. Stories with taboo subjects, unique voices, shocking images--nothing safe or dry. Burnt Tongues is a collection of transgressive stories selected by a rigorous nomination and vetting process and hand-selected by Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club, as the best of The Cult workshop. These stories run the gamut from horrific and fantastic to humorous and touching, but each leaves a lasting impression. Some may say even a scar.
This is a book of sporesThese stories, you breathe onto the page and they float up into your mucous membranes, their spiky edges lodging characters and voices in your head that shudder to life when you least expect it. Just when you think you've closed the book, it opens up all over again, inside you. --Stephen Graham Jones, author Burnt Tongues' 20 stories are as eclectic as the authors themselves, said Titan Books, which has just acquired the book in the UK, with titles ranging from Zombie Whorehouse to Mind and Soldier. --The Guardian Anyone looking for boundary-breaking tales that also pack a haunting, powerful punch will find hours of entertainment here. -- Carl Hays, Booklist
