"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can hurt like hell."

Another great satirical/horror by Mr Chuck... 'Warning, if you have read this book and suffer bleeding hemorrhoids caused by sudden outbursts of laughter you may be eligible to participate in a class action law suit'.

A childrens poem that has been quietly causing the death of infants, children, and their parents, turns out to be an ancient African culling song. A magical remedy that was originally intended to put the weak and infirm out of their misery. The protagonists of the story, Carl and Helen who inadvertently put their own loved ones to sleep... permanently... go on a mission to find all the books containing the story and destroy them before they can do any more damage. And since they have memorized the culling song themselves, their bigger battle has become, not killing everyone who annoys them along the way.

I think Lullaby has become one of my favorite Palahniuk books. Chuck is an acquired taste, but if you enjoy his work then this will be right up your kitchen.
