Lullaby

What if a simple children's rhyme held the power to kill? In Chuck Palahniuk's chilling novel, you'll discover a "culling song," an ancient poem that deals a painless, sudden death to anyone who hears it. This is the dark secret reporter Carl Streator uncovers. Streator finds the deadly lullaby is linked to a series of sudden infant deaths he's investigating. Now, joined by a real estate agent who uses the song for her own twisted ends, he must race across a corrupted American landscape to destroy every copy before it falls into the wrong hands.

Chuck Palahniuk is the award-winning author of the generation-defining novel Fight Club and over a dozen other bestselling works of transgressive fiction. A former journalist and hospice volunteer, Palahniuk draws from his experiences with societal fringes and the darker aspects of human nature. This unique background informs the chilling premise of Lullaby, where he masterfully explores themes of power, control, and the hidden violence within everyday life, cementing his reputation as a fearless chronicler of the modern condition.
