Publisher's summary

Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera. With 600 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?

Critic reviews

"Striking characters, sharp parody, and a tight plot....Highly recommended for mature [audiences]." ( Library Journal)
"McLaren's gritty voice adds the needed edge to this seedy but interesting novel." ( Publishers Weekly)

Keep browsing

Somewhat predictable, repetitive - not palahniuk's best work. I didnt hate it though, and it was a fast read.

not worth the money

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

This story had way to many unanswered questions

Any additional comments?

This book wasn't bad, but for the money I found it very short and full of plot holes and unanswered questions. I wouldn't spend the money on audiobook again.

It’s classic Palahniuk at his demented & raunchy best!

Like most reads from the master of “Sick & Wrong”, a genre all of it’s own just for the likes of Chuck Palahniuk, “Snuff” does indeed SNUFF OUT THE all the little and BIG boundaries with politically correct insinuated lines meant to say: “to far” “inhuman” “taboo” “BAN THIS BOOK”, etcetera- because it is absolutely sick and wrong; just twisted! It is in large part for these reasons that I thoroughly enjoyed this disturbing while often very hilarious Novella. Chuck Palahniuk is not for everyone to be sure! His stories are often weaved with over the top most graphic violence like brutal dismemberment and very detailed sexually explicit scenes not to mention the language. It’s mature and genuinely genius “Splatter-Punk” “Commentary” “Social Studies” for those of us with “Sick & Wrong” reading prowesses.

Classic Chuck

I always love anything written by Chuck Palahniuk, and this book was no different. As usual I was left with that dark, uncomfortable feeling in my stomach (which I love). He's done it again.

Interesting but not my favorite palahniuk book

This was an interesting book but I don't feel like it's palahniuks best work. I enjoyed choke more than this and I feel as if it was sort of "rushed".

twisted as hell

I love pretty much everything from this author I've come across. This book was extra special because the narrator almost sounds like the guy from unsolved mysteries when playing certain characters, which made it that much better.

I cringed.. I wondered...and then I cried from laughter
