Chuck Palahniuk is working on a sequel to Fight Club — and it’s a graphic novel.
“It will likely be a series of books that update the story 10 years after the seeming end of Tyler Durden,” wrote Palahniuk in an email. “Nowadays, Tyler is telling the story, lurking inside Jack, and ready to launch a comeback. Jack is oblivious. Marla is bored. Their marriage has run aground on the rocky coastline of middle-aged suburban boredom. It’s only when their little boy disappears, kidnapped by Tyler, that Jack is dragged back into the world of Mayhem.
“It will, of course, be dark and messy.”
Fans must wait a couple years for the series to begin — around 2015. Palahniuk is still deciding on a publisher and fleshing out the complete story.
All I can say is yes. YES, YES, YES.

i just finished reading my first palahniuk book – invisible monsters – and i’m hooked. looking forward to reading more. i’ve seen fight club the movie, of course, but i now want to read the book. this expansion on the first novel should be interesting.
I need to read more of Palahniuk’s work — Invisible Monsters is on my list! I’ve heard his stuff can be hit or miss for some, though.
