Awesome, fascinating book, and darkly humorous as usual for Palahniuk.
A reporter who lost his wife and daughter to mysterious circumstances (his daughter was ruled SIDS) is called upon to investigate reports of crib death in his city. He finds that what all of these deaths have in common is a single book present in the nursery. The book contains a poem which, when read aloud, causes the listening party to die in his or her sleep. Carl joins forces with a witch who sells haunted houses for a living, a hippie girl and her sociopathic boyfriend on a road trip from hell to find and destroy all of the remaining copies of this book, before more innocents are killed.
Definitely a neat, quirky, thought-provoking read. Highly recommended.
