Our view
“Snuff” is a short, deliberately outrageous satire of the porn business, quick to read and built to shock. Some readers find that the premise, wild as it is, works, and note the research behind it. Others, admirers of Palahniuk among them, think it offers more shock than story and reuses a plot he has told before. At 208 pages it can be finished in an evening.
