Books about a main character committing suicide immediately and spends his time in another dimension or in a state of limbo?

Damned by Chuck Palahniuk
Protag doesn't commit suicide, but it's more or less the same concept.

Didn't Chuck Palahniuck write that kind of novel and it was set in hell? I can't remember the title though, but I saw something about it on tvtropes(I hate that website).

I know a poem a bit like this:
>The Suicide In The Copse (Robert Graves)

Novels, not so much.
>Pincher Martin (William Golding)
is like this in some ways. MC is a sailor in WWII. His ship is torpedoed and he struggles to survive on a tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic. At the end we find he actually died immediately and has been in Purgatory all the time while God strips away his arrogance.
