RANT by Chuck Palahniuk - SIGNED & NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION UK BOOK
Rant takes the form of a (fictional) oral history of Buster "Rant" Casey, in which an assortment of
friends, enemies, admirers, detractors, and relations have their say on this evil character, who may or
may not be the most efficient serial killer of our time.
Buster Casey was every small kid born in a small town, searching for real thrills in a world of video
games and action/adventure movies. The high school rebel who always wins (and a childhood
murderer), Rant Casey escapes from his hometown of Middleton for the big city and becomes the
leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing, where on designated nights, the participants
recognize each other by dressing their cars with tin-can tails, "Just Married" toothpaste graffiti, and other
refuse, then look for designated markings in order to stalk and crash into each other. It's in this violent,
late-night hunting game that Casey meets three friends. And after his spectacular death, these friends
gather the testimony needed to build an oral history of his short life. Their collected anecdotes explore
the charges that his saliva infected hundreds and caused a silent, urban plague of rabies....
Expect hilarity and horror, and blazing insight into the desperate and surreal contemporary human
condition as only Chuck Palahniuk can deliver it. He's the postmillennial Jonathan Swift, the visionary to
watch to learn what's, uh-oh, coming next.
