The bestselling author of Lullaby and Choke continues his twenty-first
century reinvention of the horror novel in this homage to Rosemary's
Baby. Diary takes the form of a 'coma diary' kept by one Misty Tracy
Wilmot as her husband lies senseless in hospital after a suicide
attempt. Once she was an art student dreaming of creativity and freedom;
now, after marrying Peter at art school and being brought back to once
quaint, now tourist-overrun Waytansea Island, she's been reduced to the
condition of a resort hotel maid. Peter, it turns out, has been hiding
rooms in houses he's refurbished and scrawling vile messages all over
the walls – an old habit of builders but gone nuts on his part. Angry
homeowners are suing left and right, and Misty's dreams of artistic
greatness are in ashes. But then, as if possessed by the spirit of Maura
Kinkaid, a fabled Waytansea artist of the nineteenth century, Misty
begins painting again, compulsively. The canvases are taken away by her
mother-in-law and her doctor, who seem to have a plan for Misty – and for all those annoying tourists… A dark, hilarious and, this time,
poignant act of storytelling from America's favourite, most inventive
nihilist.

    Loved how the Diary is chaptered in the book. It's not outrageous but Chuck Palahniuk does this with such ease and excellent openness.
