As it turns out, Chuck Palahniuk’s new book ‘Rant‘ will be released on May 1st. It’s available for pre-order now. Stop reading and go, damn it!

Here’s a little bit about the book:

A high-school rebel who always wins (and a childhood murderer?), Rant Casey escapes from his small hometown of Middleton for the big city. He becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing. On appointed nights participants recognize each other by such designated car markings as “Just Married” toothpaste graffiti and then stalk and crash into each other. Rant Casey will die a spectacular highway death after which his friends gather testimony needed to build an oral history of his short, violent life. Their collected anecdotes explore the possibility that his saliva caused a silent urban plague of rabies and that he found a way to escape the prison house of linear time…

Oh, and for those of you with a bottomless wallet, you may want to check out the limited edition version of the book also available for pre-order.
