SO FUN! We loved it there! Just leaving Boise where I found a true first edition of FIGHT CLUB for $48! Felt like a pretty good deal.

I can just hear Shirley Jackson’s ghost approaching in the distance with a ghastly box of rattling glass jars, filled with canned goods hunting for some shelf space in the castle.

Chelsea says it has hot and cold running drug dealers.

Genius level real estate selling strategy.

Drug dealers always send me mixed signals too.

Great! I bet wonderful twisted stories will take life from there! Those diamond stones are a trip.

That looks like fun. The history on the John Sweden house noted in the article is pretty gruesome.

You gonna wear your “Disappointed” shirt?

Chelsea's castle retreats are always a blast, looking forward to seeing you there!

Needs a sign on the door that states: “All students that engage in the forbidden process of tennis dialogue shall find their heads mounted atop spikes adorning the walls”

Chuck Palahniuk's avatar

There's a dungeon for people who don't use attribution in dialog...

Kerri Rickard's avatar

I’ll just go straight to the dungeon, then. (Throws up hands)

Logan the Lobotomizer's avatar

Does sodomy occur in this dungeon? Maybe with a broom, perhaps 🧹

Logan the Lobotomizer's avatar

There’s nothing that hammers down attribution than a visit from the broomstick man.

kp Buk's avatar

…can I get a wack on the ass for alluding to?

Oliver's avatar

The castle is one of the few abodes on that list that didn't claim a murder. Prayers for every student to attribute dialogue in May

Joe G's avatar

Chuck will be taking the bad students to the torture chamber.

Holy shit this is so cool. For those attending - please let me know if there are any secret rooms hidden in the walls.

This is going to be my third time at the castle. No secret rooms, but that place is BONKERS. The “room” I’m staying in (really a mini-apartment) has a pool table and no other furniture in the living room. There are fake Greek columns in the bathroom. 😂 Every single thing about that place is weird in the best possible way.

Nivethine Mahendran's avatar

I love wacky maximalism, there’s something to find in every corner (well except for the pool table living room 😂). I hope you have the best of times Karin!! ❤️🫶🏽

Karin Kohlmeier's avatar

Thank you! I can’t wait.

And I’m still reeling from learning that I’ve slept in a castle where Prince once hung out. 😮💜

Rebecka DavisJohnson's avatar

Just. Remember it's not a secret room if you show it to everyone....

Chuck, I celebrated Bicycle Day for the first time and ended up reading the first two chapters of Fight Club 2 while listening to The Dust Brothers. The book was just sitting on my table and it caught my eye: the watercolor cover art by David Mack was melting beautifully. I'm afraid I have to finish the rest of the book on acid.

You don't have to miss it.

kp Buk's avatar

I knew an Ivar. Cream of the crop that lad was or is, wherever that might be. Logan the Lobotomizer have you seen the first edition of your new comic series?

$2K a night with no moat full of electric eels? What a ripoff.
