Misty Wilmot has had it. Once a promising young artist, she’s now stuck on an island ruined by tourism, drinking too much and working as a waitress in a hotel. Her husband, a contractor, is in a coma after a suicide attempt, but that doesn’t stop his clients from threatening Misty with lawsuits over a series of vile messages they’ve found on the walls of houses he remodeled.

Suddenly, though, Misty finds her artistic talent returning as she begins a period of compulsive painting. Inspired but confused by this burst of creativity, she soon finds herself a pawn in a larger conspiracy that threatens to cost hundreds of lives. What unfolds is a dark, hilarious story from America’s most inventive nihilist, and Palahniuk’s most impressive work to date.

Hello, I'm a travelling book!!!
I've been to many places and now I am visiting the BookCrossing Anniversary Convention in Athens. Take me with you, read me and then please release me again, so that I can make new friends and continue my journey.

Picked this up at the convention

An interesting read! Not the best choice for a travel book though, would have been better to read it without constant interruptions.

Taking this to the meet-up, let's see if someone picks it up

If a librarian recommends a book, it's a must read! Trying to get reading as fast as I can...

A very confusing and a little frustrating read at first, but soon impossible to put down. You couldn't help feeling sorry for Misty and hoping she'd snap and get all Carrie around the community. The ending was a tad disappointing, but hey, how else could a modern horror story evolve?

Find the book at Helsinki Art Museum's lobby, next to exhibition brochures! Where else could I take a book that has an artist as the protagonist?
