Chuck Palahniuk: "67 people fainted as I read my horror story"

A strong audience reaction indeed! This is Palahniuk's account of his promotional tour to the US and UK bookshops. Well, he doesn't seem exactly embarrassed on unhappy about this reaction...
The author has by-lined this piece in the Telegraph, and it works well as promotion for the new book, Hauntings. I guess after they faint, audiences don't feel like asking questions about "where do you get your inspiration?"
