Description
'Are you there, Satan? It's me, Madison'
Meet Madison, whip-tongued daughter of a narcissistic film star and a billionaire, abandoned at a Swiss boarding school over Christmas while her parents are off adopting more orphans. Madison dies of a marijuana overdose and awakes to find herself in Hell, sharing her cell with a motley crew of young sinners that's almost too good to be true.
Welcome to the afterlife as only Palahniuk could imagine it - he makes eternal torment, well, simply divine.
A dark, disturbing and very, very funny new novel from the inimitable Chuck Palahniuk - his best yet.

Reviews
The Lovely Bones meets The Shawshank Redemption via Judy Blume. Expect to be appalled * Vogue *
True to Palahniuk form, Damned is gross in parts, scandalous in others and funny throughout * Time Out *
Gleefully riffing on Judy Blume's 1970 coming-of-age classic Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, Palahniuk's dead heroine must traverse the infernal landscape in search of Satan - and of her true self - as she tries to discover exactly how she died * Financial Times *
Vintage chuck - as dark as it gets * Dazed *
The vistas of his underworld are engrossing * Metro *
