Porfiry Petrovich is a literary-police algorithm. He investigates crimes and simultaneously writes detective stories about it, earning money for the Police Department. Marukha Cho is an art critic with a lot of money and her specialty is the so-called "gypsum", the art form of the first quarter of the 21st century. She needs an assistant to analyze the market and decides to rent Porphyry. "iPhuck 10" is the most expensive love gadget on the market and at the same time the most famous of the 244 detectives of Porfiry Petrovich. This new novel is a real masterpiece of algorithmic police prose of the end of the century - an encyclopedic novel about the future of love, art and everything else.

"Vampires as they truly are: a complete expose of the 'blood mythology'... and of those who spread it." -- "A stunning novel about the real world, and about the hidden chanels of power behind the scenes, EMPIRE V is a postmodern satirical novel exploring the cults and corruption of politics, banking and power. And not only are these cults difficult to join, it turns out they may be impossible to leave ..."

From the master of literary mayhem and provocation, a full-frontal Triple X novel that goes where no American work of fiction has gone before Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera. With six hundred men. Snuff unfolds from the perspectives of Mr. 72, Mr. 137, and Mr. 600, who await their turn on camera in a very crowded green room. This wild, lethally funny, and thoroughly researched novel brings the huge yet underacknowledged presence of pornography in contemporary life into the realm of literary fiction at last. Who else but Chuck Palahniuk would dare do such a thing? Who else could do it so well, so unflinchingly, and with such an incendiary (you might say) climax?
