John Dies at the End is a genre-bending, humorous account of two college drop-outs inadvertently charged with saving their small town and the world from a host of supernatural and paranormal invasions.This edition includes exclusive behind-the-scenes essays from the director and the author.[Jason Pargin] has updated the Lovecraft tradition and infused it with humor that rather than lessening the horror, increases it dramatically. Every time I set the book down, I was wary that something really was afoot, that there were creatures I couldnt see, and that because I suspected this, I was next. Engaging, comic, and terrifying. Joe Garden, Features Editor, The Onion[Pargin] is like a mash-up of Douglas Adams and Stephen King... page-turner is an understatement. Don Coscarelli, director, Phantasm I-V, Bubba Ho-tepSTOP. You should not have touched this flyer with your bare hands. NO, dont put it down. Its too late. Theyre watching you. My name is David. My best friend is John. Those names are fake. You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things youll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But its too late. You touched the book. Youre in the game. Youre under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why? You just have to trust me.The important thing is this: The sauce is a drug, and it gives users a window into another dimension. John and I never had the chance to say no. You still do. Unfortunately for us, if you make the right choice, well have a much harder time explaining how to fight off the otherworldly invasion currently threatening to enslave humanity.Im sorry to have involved you in this, I really am. But as you read about these terrible events and the very dark epoch the world is about to enter as a result, it is crucial you keep one thing in mind: None of this was my fault. Review “John Dies at the End…[is] a case of the author trying to depict actual, soul-sucking lunacy, and succeeding with flying colors.” Fangoria“[Jason Pargin] is like a mash-up of Douglas Adams and Stephen King . . . ‘page-turner is an understatement.” Don Coscarelli, director, Phantasm I-V and Bubba Ho-tep“[Jason Pargin] has managed to write that rarest of things---a genuinely scary story.” David Wellington, author of Monster Island and Vampire Zero“The rare genre novel that manages to keep its sense of humor strong without ever diminishing the scares.” The Onion AV Club“Sure to please the Fangoria set while appealing to a wider audience, the books smart take on fear manages to tap into readers existential dread on one page, then have them laughing the next.” Publishers Weekly“When its funny, its laugh-out-loud funny, yet when the situation calls for chills, it provides them in spades.” Kirkus Reviews“The book takes every pop culture trend of the past twenty years, peppers it with 14-year-old dick and fart humor, and blends it all together with a huge heaping of splatterpunk gore…. Successfully blend[s] laugh-out-loud humor with legitimate horror.” i09
