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
“David Wong 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
“David Wong 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 book's smart take on fear manages to tap into readers' existential dread on one page, then have them laughing the next.” –Publishers Weekly
"When it’s funny, it's laugh-out-loud funny, yet when the situation calls for chills, it provides them in spades."--Kirkus Reviews
Product Description
STOP.
You should not have touched this book with your bare hands.
NO, don’t put it down. It’s too late.
They’re watching you.
My name is David Wong. My best friend is John. Those names are fake. You might want to change yours.
You may not want to know about the things you’ll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it’s too late. You touched the book. You’re in the game. You’re 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 drug is called Soy Sauce 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, we’ll have a much harder time explaining how to fight off the otherworldly invasion currently threatening to enslave humanity.
I’m 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 is was my fault.

What the fu.....?,
This review is from: John Dies at the End (Hardcover)
This book is one of the most original and just plain wacky books I've ever read. And when I say book, I mean website. A few years ago David Wong, one of the editors on [...] put together a website called [...] where he posted this book in its entirety. The response to it was so positive that he had a limited hard copy run done (this is the black cover with the two guys on the front edition). That sold so well that he now has a major publisher involved and did a full run, which is this new edition.As for the story itself.. its quite hard to describe. It is a genuinely hair raising horror novel, but the absolute absurdity of some of the situations takes the edge off. This is a great story for Horror and Non-horror fans. Incredibly well written, especially for a first attempt at this format, this book will have you calling in sick so that you can keep reading. Plus it cures cancer and makes you more attractive to the opposite (or same depending on preference) sex. I can not wait for the sequel.

Not just funny - scary too!,
By
This review is from: John Dies at the End (Hardcover)
This book was even better than I expected. I knew David Wong was funny, but it turns out he's scary too. Buy this book, you won't regret it.
