Pre-Order Chuck Palahniuk's Upcoming Novel 'Tell All' Today!
Pre-Order Chuck Palahniuk's 2010 Novel 'Tell All' Today!
Chuck Palahniuk's next novel 'Tell All' just went up on Amazon as a pre-order this week, with completed cover design. I immediately went to the good people at Random House for a blurb about the book, and got these words from Chuck's wonderful editor, Gerry Howard:
“A dark reimagining of All About Eve and a hilarious assault on celebrity. From the absolute master of dark reimaginings and hilarious assaults.”
The book is due out May 4th, 2010. But you can pre-order it now.

Fight Club T-Shirts Are Finally Here!
For years we've been offering Tshirts on this website for all of Chuck Palahniuk's books. You have demanded them and we have delivered. But strangely, the one shirt we never made was a Fight Club shirt.
Well, that all changes today. In honor of the 10 year anniversary of the movie Fight Club, as well as the 10 year anniversary of ChuckPalahniuk.net (yes, it's been that long!), we are finally offering you the shirts you've been wanting for years! But this time we took things up a notch. We wanted this shirt to look different than the rest. We wanted it to not just feel like a 'Fight Club' movie shirt, but also channel the book. So we wanted a design that was balanced. Something hot. Something you'd wear out and not feel like too much of a fanboy. ;)
Chuck Reviews The June Workshop Finalists!
After a slight intermission, we return to you with perhaps the greatest feature we have ever offered on our website in 10 solid years of content. Chuck Palahniuk reads and reviews your stories! Hopefully by now you know the drill, but just in case you don't, lemme recap you!
Starting in February of 2009, we began a screening process, whereby about 17 original stories from our Writers' Workshop get nominated and then read by judges every month. The top 6 stories are then sent off to Chuck Palahniuk who reads, reviews and feedbacks them. The selected finalists are then posted here, along with Chuck's in-depth notes. It is Chuck's aim at the end of the year to choose the best stories and publish them in an anthology which he will write the Intro for.
As we are on a three month turnaround, below you will find the 6 stories that Chuck reviewed for June 09. Premium Members can click each story to not only read it, but also see Chuck's feedback.
The Great-God Bird of Arkansas - Wil D. Alton

Craig Clevenger Returns for the last Shotgun Workshop Intensive for 2009!
Attention writers! Lock and load, because it's time to prowl the wasteland of procrastination and start collecting scalps. Translation: It's time to get serious about your writing. Here at The Cult, we do not rest until we're sure that every writer with potential that is reading this has taken that fateful plunge into improving their craft. We're relentless in this endeavor; to make you all better writers and to hopefully, get you published.
What started this year with Chuck Palahniuk reading and reviewing 6 stories every month for an upcoming anthology, has just evolved into another beastly arm of The Cult's writers' workshop... this one belonging to badass scribe Craig Clevenger!
Writers' Workshop Anthology: June Nominations & Finalists Announced
Greetings, everyone! As of yesterday, six more original short stories have been sent off to Chuck to be read, reviewed and feed-backed. This is an unprecedented opportunity for up and coming amateur writers. Not only do we offer a groundbreaking online Writers' Workshop for you to troubleshoot your material and get honest and helpful feedback from your peers... but we are currently selecting the best stories each month and sending them off to Chuck!
In 2009 our Writers' Workshop received a massive make-over. Chuck is now directly involved with his readers, helping them improve their writing craft. Each month, after a thorough screening process, we send Chuck 6 fan-written stories which he then reads, reviews, and provides vital feedback on. It is Chuck's goal to pick the best stories at the end of the year and include them in an Anthology, which he will not only include his name on and write the Introduction for, but also help attach a publisher to. (in fact, Chuck has hinted that he may already have one lined up!)
So saddle up, folks. It's time to get serious about your writing!
Did Chuck Palahniuk's 'Guts' Inspire A Scene In The 'New Final Destination' Movie?
I'm not sure what took me so long to post something about this. People have been discussing it on our message board, and it's popping up all over our Twitter page. In the new 3D horror movie The Final Destination, there is a scene where one of the characters gets his ass stuck to a pool drain. Obviously, this is very reminiscent of the infamous story Chuck Palahniuk wrote for his 2005 short story novel Haunted, entitled Guts.
Now, I have not yet seen The Final Destination, but I seriously want to. I have friends who have checked it out that say it's goofy yes, but thoroughly entertaining and delivers on all its 3D gags. Yet, even though I haven't seen it, you may be surprised to hear that I actually worked on it in some capacity -- if you count doing a 4 month internship for the production company that produced it, manning the desk and screwing up phone banking, then yes... I guess I worked on it. Lol.
During that time, I read the script through a few drafts and incarnations. So unless they changed something last minute... I know how this scene turns out... and it might surprise you. But I won't say anymore, as I don't want to give any SPOILERS.
