His essays at Cracked and other outlets have been enjoyed by tens of millions of readers around the world. THE NATIONAL BESTSELLERINCLUDES A SNEAK PREVIEW OF PARGINS UPCOMING NOVEL!New York Times bestselling author Jason Pargins Zoey Punches the Future in the Dick is the latest and arguably greatest sci-fi thriller in the Zoey Ashe Series.In the futuristic city of Tabula Ra$a, Zoey Ashe is like a fish so far out of water that it has achieved orbit. After inheriting a criminal empire, the twenty-three year-old finds herself under threat from all sides as a rogues gallery of larger-than-life enemies think they smell weakness.On the eve of the worlds most lavish and ridiculous Halloween celebration, a steamer trunk-sized box arrives at Zoeys door and she is shocked to find that it contains a disemboweled corpse. She is even more shocked when that corpse, controlled by an unknown party, rises and goes on a rampage through the house. Speaking in an electronic voice, it publicly accuses Zoey of being its murderer. This is the kind of thing that almost never happened at her old job.The city was already a ticking time bomb of publicity-hungry vigilantes with superhuman enhancements and Zoey knows this turn of events is unlikely to improve the situation. Now, she and her team of high-tech tricksters have to solve this bizarre murder while simultaneously keeping Tabula Ra$a from descending into chaos.“Biting humor and blatant digs at modern society overlay a subtly brilliant and thoughtful plot” (Publishers Weekly) in John Dies at the End author Jason Pargin’s first installment of the Zoey Ashe Series, Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits. Now, “one of today’s great satirists” (Nerdist) is back with Zoey Punches the Future in the Dick, the second installment in a “Technicolor tomorrowland.” (Kirkus Reviews) Review Praise for ZOEY PUNCHES THE FUTURE IN THE DICK:[Zoey Punches the Future] is at its best when [Pargin] explores the nature of wealth and power. In the character of Zoey, [Pargin] pushes against the fairy-tale cliche where the downtrodden (through supernatural means or otherwise) are rewarded a life of carefree prosperity. Locus MagazineThe future is simultaneously familiar and utterly ridiculous in Zoey Punches the Future in the Dick, the second Zoey Ashe thriller from [Jason Pargin]...a funhouse mirror of modern society viewed through a superhero comic or a James Bond movie...rich with commentary on celebrity culture, social media and toxic masculinity, readers will be laughing too hard for it to ever feel preachy. Shelf Awareness (starred review) [Pargin] once again achieves the perfect balance between sardonic humor and satirical digs at the digital age... Library Journal (starred review)[Pargin] sneaks a nuanced examination of the surrealist nature of the digital age into the nonstop action, whipping technological, philosophical, and ethical questions into a wild romp that satirizes everything from the men’s rights movement to gaming culture to the cult of celebrity. This is a brilliant modern parable disguised as pop fiction. Publishers Weekly[Pargins] trademark imagination and humor remain but its his grounded sense of humanity that elevates this work.

INCLUDES A NEW AFTERWORDJohn Dies at the Ends smart take on fear manages to tap into readers existential dread on one page, then have them laughing the next (Publishers Weekly) and This Book is Full of Spiders was unlike any other book of the genre (Washington Post).Now, New York Times bestselling author Jason Pargin is back with What the Hell Did I Just Read, the third installment of this black-humored thriller series.Its the story They dont want you to read. Though, to be fair, They are probably right about this one. To quote the Bible, Learning the truth can be like loosening a necktie, only to realize it was the only thing keeping your head attached. No, dont put the book back on the shelf -- it is now your duty to purchase it to prevent others from reading it. Yes, it works with e-books, too, I dont have time to explain how.While investigating a fairly straightforward case of a shape-shifting interdimensional child predator, Dave, John, and Amy realized there might actually be something weird going on. Together, they navigate a diabolically convoluted maze of illusions, lies, and their own incompetence in an attempt to uncover a terrible truth they -- like you -- would be better off not knowing.Your first impulse will be to think that a story this gruesome -- and, to be frank, stupid -- cannot possibly be true. That is precisely the reaction They are hoping for. Review Praise for What the Hell Did I Just Read:[Pargins] wildly mind-bending third installment (after This Book Is Full of Spiders) of the adventures of protagonist David Wong is filled with the humorous horror readers have come to expect.... While the story gleefully wallows in absurdity, thoughtful themes of addiction, perception, and the drive to do the right thing quickly emerge beneath the vivid and convoluted imagery. The plot’s rapid pace holds the reader’s attention to the truly bitter end. Publishers Weekly (starred review)[Jason Pargin] burst onto the horror-comedy scene with his phantasmagorical novel John Dies at the End and has been steadily ratcheting up the madness ever since.... A frenetic, welcome return to Dave and Johns grotesque but funny grindhouse nightmare. Kirkus ReviewsIntroduced in John Dies at the End and last seen in This Book Is Full of Spiders, [Pargins] irreverent protagonists return in another action-packed horror adventure full of crude but effective humor. For fans of the humor website Cracked . Library JournalWhat the Hell Did I Just Read is reminiscent of Douglas Adams’s work, stuffed with layers of absurd pastiche. Washington PostPraise for This Book is Full of Spiders:“Kevin Smiths Clerks meets H.P. Lovecraft in this exceptional thriller that makes zombies relevant again...

THIS IS NOT A METAPHOR.You will dismiss this as ridiculous fear-mongering. Dismissing things as ridiculous fear-mongering is, in fact, the first symptom of parasitic spider infection--the creature stimulates skepticism, in order to prevent you from seeking a cure. Thats just as well, since the cure involves learning what a chainsaw tastes like. You cant feel the spider, because it controls your nerve endings. You wont even feel it when it breeds. And it will breed.Just stay calm, and remember that telling you about the spider situation is not the same as having caused it. Im just the messenger. Even if I did sort of cause it. Either way, I wont hold it against you if youre upset. I know thats just the spider talking.Like an episode of AMCs The Walking Dead written by Douglas Adams of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy…Imagine a mentally ill narrator describing the zombie apocalypse while drunk, and the end result is unlike any other book of the genre.

Sitting squarely with the likes of S.G.

The human race is at a crossroads; we know that we are not alone, but details about the alien presence on Earth are still being withheld from the public. As the political climate grows more unstable, the world is forced to consider the ramifications of granting human rights to nonhuman persons. How do you define “person” in the first place? Cora Sabino not only serves as the full-time communication intermediary between the alien entity Ampersand and his government chaperones but also shares a mysterious bond with him that is both painful and intimate in ways neither of them could have anticipated. Despite this, Ampersand is still keen on keeping secrets, even from Cora, which backfires on them both when investigative journalist Kaveh Mazandarani, a close colleague of Cora’s unscrupulous estranged father, witnesses far more of Ampersand’s machinations than anyone was meant to see. Since Cora has no choice but to trust Kaveh, the two must work together to prove to a fearful world that intelligent, conscious beings should be considered persons, no matter how horrifying, powerful, or malicious they may seem.
