    While Palahniuk's books typically contain a lot more than meets the eye, I found this to be especially true of Haunted. While some of the stories may shock you (or even cause you to feel a little lightheaded, nauseous, or faint--believe me when I say you should always sit down while reading this book), the brutal and gruesome nature of many of them explores human identity and nature, our presumptions about and expectations of life and what lies ahead, and above all, our desperate and unspoken desire for pain and suffering and a villain upon which to blame it. Deftly written, in true Palahniuk fashion.
