This extract is from the Chuck Palahniuk Myspace site:
Well, in the wee hours of the night, when I wasn\’t looking, the pre-order page for Chuck\’s next book Snuff made it\’s way onto Amazon.com. It\’s slated to be released on May 20th, 2008. As always though, this information could change. Though I doubt it will.

By now, many of you who saw Chuck read on his last tour, know the story of Snuff. But for those of you who don\’t, here\’s the official summary blurb from Random House:
\”Six hundred dudes. One porn queen. A world record for the ages. A must-have movie for every discerning collector of things erotic.\”
\”Didn\’t one of us on purpose set out to make a snuff movie.\”
Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera. With six hundred men. SNUFF unfolds from the perspectives of Mr. 72, Mr. 137, and Mr. 600, who await their turn on camera in a very crowded green room. This wild, lethally funny, and thoroughly researched novel brings the huge yet underacknowledged presence of pornography in contemporary life into the realm of literary fiction at last. Who else but Chuck Palahniuk would dare do such a thing? Who else could do it so well, so unflinchingly, and with such an incendiary (you might say) climax?
