Chuck Palahniuk will release a sequel to his novel 'Fight Club'

Palahniuk also has other upcoming works such as novels titled 'Doomed' and 'Beautiful You.'

By Molly Driscoll , Staff Writer

鈥淔ight Club鈥 author Chuck Palahniuk will write a sequel, possibly more than one, to his 1996 novel, which will be in graphic novel form and will feature the return of all the 鈥淔ight鈥 main characters.

Palahniuk revealed that he will be writing the sequel, which could become a series, during a Comic-Con panel titled 鈥淥de to Nerds.鈥

In a statement on his website, the author offered a summary of the new work. (Warning: spoilers for the 鈥淔ight Club鈥 story are included.)

鈥淚t will likely be a series of books that update the story ten years after the seeming end of Tyler Durden,鈥 Palahniuk said. 鈥淣owadays, Tyler聽is telling the story, lurking inside Jack, and ready to launch a come-back. Jack is oblivious.聽 Marla is bored.聽 Their marriage has run aground on the rocky coastline of middle-aged suburban boredom.聽 It鈥檚 only when their little boy disappears, kidnapped by Tyler, that Jack is dragged back into the world of Mayhem. It will, of course, be dark and messy.鈥

Palahniuk said in the same e-mail that 鈥淐helsea Cain has been introducing me to artists and creators from Marvel, DC and Dark Horse, and they鈥檙e walking me through the process,鈥 but no publisher has been determined for the graphic novel. 鈥淲e haven鈥檛 started to court a specific publisher, not until I hammer out the complete story,鈥 the author said.

Readers will most likely have to wait for the first installment. Palahniuk said in his e-mail that 鈥渟ince the Fight Club sequel will appear serialized in graphic form, my book publisher might allow me to launch it earlier than 2015.鈥 The author has other works scheduled for release between then and now, including a book titled 鈥淒oomed鈥 (a sequel to his previous novel 鈥淒amned鈥) that will come out this October and a novel titled 鈥淏eautiful You鈥 that is scheduled for a 2014 release.

"Fight Club" was adapted into a 1999 film starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, and Helena Bonham-Carter.
