Title: Haunted Characters
Post by: Tearon on 23 Apr 2006, 18:56

This one is for all the Chuck Palahniuk fans who got their socks rocked off by Haunted.

My character has got to be Agent Tattletale, mostly because I have a tendency to run around with my friends, videotaping everything.

Also, I can see myself pretending to be a cripple.

(Didn't put them all in, due to limited polling)

interesting presentation, but I didn't care for the story much.

I rather liked it as an allegory. It's the first story I've read in a long time in which every single thing was symbolic.

Also, some of the stories within it are absolutly delightful.

Did you know you can use Guts as a weapon? It occasionaly causes people to faint.

I absolutely adore Chuck's stuff, but I have not gotten my sweaty little paws on Haunted yet.  Is it awesome?  I know it'll be awesome.  I just know it.

[I've read Guts, though - someone posted it on a forum I used to frequent, and it was my introduction to Chuck.  It made me cringe, but I quickly realised the guy was a genius.]

I will come tripping happily back to this thread once I've read the damn thing.

The difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage.
