Lullaby is a book by Chuck Palahniuk, the author of Fight Club. The premise of Lullaby is the existence of a culling song, a song or lullaby that when spoken, song or even thought causes a painless death. When a culling song is included in a book of Poems and Nursery Rhymes from around the world, infants are dying.

Chuck Palahniuk writes modern day parables that are intriguing stories and so much more. He is a keen observer of pop culture and weaves his observations through the story line.

The book is 260 pages with short, quick paced chapters. I was completely absorbed by the book and found it invaded my dreams the night I finished it.

Definitely not a "warm and fuzzy" read but a book I find myself pondering days later.
