'Every word he's written about me is a lie including "and" and "the"...'

For decades Hazie Coogan has tended to the outsized needs of Katherine 'Miss Kathie' Kenton, a star of the wattage of Elizabeth Taylor and the emotional torments of Judy Garland. The survivor of multiple marriages, career comebacks and cosmetic surgeries, Miss Kathie lives the way legends should. But danger lurks when gentleman caller Webster Carlton Westward III arrives and worms his way into Miss Kathie's heart and boudoir. Hazie discovers that this bounder has already written his celebrity tell-all memoir and that it foretells her death in a forthcoming Lillian Hellman-penned World War II musical extravaganza Unconditional Surrender, in which Miss Kathie portrays Lily defeating Japanese forces from Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki. As the body count mounts, Hazie must execute a plan to save Katherine Kenton for her fans - and for posterity...

Praise for Tell-All

Blackly hilarious...full of brilliantly acid one-liners...a gripping, outrageous and stylishly written hoot

News Of The World

Chuck Palahniuk is one of modern American fiction's most interesting stylists, and he's at it again... A masterful feat

Associated Press

Chuck turns his gimlet and razor sharp pen on celebrity, with a darkly sparkling tale inspired by the classic All About Eve

Lauren Laverne, Grazia

Palahniuk remains a cutting stylist who knows how to toss a well-aimed barb

Daily Telegraph

With his love of contemporary fairy tales that are gritty and dirty rather than pretty, Palahniuk is the likeliest inheritor of Vonnegut's place in American writing

San Francisco Chronicle
