Book description
Rant
is the oral history of one Buster 'Rant' Casey, in which an assortment
of friends, enemies, detractors, lovers and relations have their say on
the man who may or may not be the most efficient serial killer of our
time.
Rant is a darkly glittering anti-hero whose recreational drug of choice
is rabies, and whose own personal Viagra is the venom of a black widow
spider. He soon leaves his half-feral hometown for the big city, where
he becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party
Crashing. On designated nights, the Party Crashers chase each other in
cars in the hope of a collision, and all the while Rant, the
'superspreader', transmits his lethal disease... Chuck Palahniuk's
