Snuff

So I called everyone I knew and told them I was going to get to interview Chuck Palahniuk, not knowing for sure if would or not. I went to his book signing and got my copy of his newest book "Snuff" signed (read my story on it here). It's a book about the snuff porn industry, where a pron star is trying to break the record of the world's largest gang bang. 600 men. Needless to say, this seemed to be a book right up my alley.

I wanted to wait to do this post until I finished it so I could say a few words about it. It was a little boring at the beginning, considering the subject matte.r It's told through the perspective of four people waiting in the green room, waiting to go on set and do their deed. But at the end of every chapter, the plot thickened, and in the Palahniuk style, it ended with a slam-bang plot twisted climax (pun intended).

It's a quick read, and it's worth it just to know the ending. Anywho, I went to the reading and got a call from his publicist the next day setting up an interview at the bookstore while he was signing a stack of books in the back. It went well, and I put my interview on line, "Sex, Guts and the Needle: Ten things you should know about Chuck Palahniuk" (read it here). He was super nice and we sat down together when he was done signing and he thought up answers to every question as if he hadn't been asked these questions before. So that was the highlight of my internship.

Lastly, the best story I've written to date: read it here.
