The best stories are currently set to be published in Burnt Tongues, a forthcoming anthology, with an introduction written by Chuck himself. Of course, this is the remix version, so it was different than the original Invisible Monsters but mainly just in the formatting and some added chapters. They frequently pretend to be wealthy clients to view expensive homes that are for sale and steal whatever drugs they can find, alternately ingesting or selling them.

Most of these side stories deal with the process of revision and re-imagining famous movies, as Chuck did with this novel, while others detail where our narrator is now (after her story). V. stand, a new man with no skin or crushed features or all his teeth bashed out, a man who'd be perfect for me. Major Injury Underreaction: Having shot herself with a revolver and blown her own lower jaw off, the narrator/Shannon is quite nonchalant when she walks into the hospital, taking the time to drop the weapon down a drain pipe before she enters. It’s upon meeting Brandy Alexander, also known as the Queen Supreme, a woman who undergoes more surgeries than you could count on your fingers to become the most beautiful woman alive, that the narrator learns some of the most valuable lessons regarding identity and love.She, inspired by Brandy, decides to create her own reality, fostering an entirely new identity for herself. This is something that Chuck Palahniuk wants you to embrace and get used to as life is never about the predictable but always about the unexpected and sudden moments. That is, until everything goes to hell and her entire lower jaw is blown off in a drive-by shooting.

The main lesson to take from Invisible Monsters is that we are all too caught up in ourselves to notice that which is going on around us. Here, in the remix version, not only do we get extra scenes and characters, plus a new prologue, we also have to move back and forward depending on which chapter we are directed to.Battle lines are redrawn, alliances shift and relationships are stripped down to their raw, painful cores, leading the protagonist to question everything she thought she knew about herself and the people around her. Chuck’s work has always been infused with personal experience, and his next novel, Lullaby, was no exception. In turn, Shannon reveals that she shot herself in the face to escape from being beautiful and beholden to her career and relationships, mirroring Shane's decision to transition. Chuck Palahniuk's nine novels are the bestselling Snuff, Rant, Haunted, Lullaby and Fight Club, which was made into a film by director David Fincher, Diary, Survivor, Invisible Monsters, and Choke, which was made into a film by director Clark Gregg.

While driving down the highway, the narrator is mysteriously shot in the face and her jaw is torn off.

The novel was originally supposed to be Palahniuk's first novel to be published, but it was rejected by the publisher for being too disturbing. It's so beautiful and powerful and beyond feeling anything for anybody, that's what I love about fire. While recovering in the hospital, Shannon meets Brandy Alexander, a voluptuous pre-surgical transsexual who adopts Shannon and takes her on the road, granting them new monikers, identities and trades in the process. I did like that this edition was hardcover and even if the chapter jumping wasn't my favorite thing to do, I like his ideas and I like the fact that he'll do something different.
