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... From the dialogue to the descriptions, lines are delivered with faultless timing and wit... [Jason Pargin] is a fantastic author with a supernatural talent for humor. If you want a poignant, laugh-out-loud funny, disturbing, ridiculous, self-aware, socially relevant horror novel than This Book is Full of Spiders: Seriously Dude, Dont Touch It is the one and only book for you.” SF Signal“The comedic and crackling dialogue also brings a whimsical flair to the story, making it seem like an episode of AMCs The Walking Dead written by Douglas Ad
