Chuck Palahniuk, author of award-winning novel Fight Club and Lullaby is set to release his first-ever coloring book for adults.

 

Aptly titled 'Bait: Off-Color Stories for You to Color', the book is a short story collection featuring eight brand new stories written by the author including nearly 50 original illustrations by comic book artists for readers to color.

 

Bait includes a story about a passenger on the Titanic “who finds a surgical solution to the obstacle of ‘women and children first’”, and one about a Hollywood star “whose fading brand faces a viral (and scatological) Internet campaign”. Guardian UK reported.

 

Palahniuk told BuzzFeed: “Many of my readers are creatives so I’m excited to include them in the storytelling process. Instead of being a gift that’s simply bought and presented, Bait allows the giver or receiver to personalize the finished book. The illustrations will run the gamut from delightful to shocking. The artists are among my favorites in the world, and their works take these new stories — the best I’ve ever written — to a bold, new level. Bait will change, forever, what people expect from both story collections and coloring books.”

The colouring book which will be out on 25 October, will also feature almost 50 pieces of “colourable original art” by comic-book artists including Lee Bermejo, Duncan Fegredo and Joëlle Jones.
