Product Description
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
It's a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't.

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.
