Description de l’éditeur
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.
Now a Major Motion Picture.
"[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-tep
STOP.
You should not have touched this flyer with your bare hands. NO, don't put it down. It's too late. They're 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 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 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.
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 was my fault.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this reissue of an Internet phenomenon originally slapped between two covers in 2007 by indie Permutus Press, Wong Cracked.com editor Jason Pargin's alter ego adroitly spoofs the horror genre while simultaneously offering up a genuinely horrifying story. The terror is rooted in a substance known as "soy sauce," a paranormal psychoactive that opens video store clerk Wong's and his penis-obsessed friend John's minds to higher levels of consciousness. Or is it just hell seeping into the unnamed Midwestern town where Wong and the others live? Meat monsters, wig-wearing scorpion aberrations and wingless white flies that burrow into human skin threaten to kill Wong and his crew before infesting the rest of the world. A multidimensional plot unfolds as the unlikely heroes drink lots of beer and battle the paradoxes of time and space, as well as the clich s of first-person-shooter video games and fantasy gore films. 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.
Avis des utilisateurs
So funny !
One of my favourite series, so funny and does make you think about the paranormal in a new light.
Twisted dark humour.
Surprisingly cleaver and funny.
Couldn't put it down
Excellent book. Has a very dark undertone but keeps it lighthearted with the antics of the unlikely heroes. Very humorous. I laughed outright on more than a few occasions. Read this from cover to cover and instantly purchased the sequel, thirsting for more.
A little pricey to not have a physical copy - as you will assuredly want to share this; my solace laying in the hopes it's all much deserved profit to the author. Kudos Mr. Wong, IF that is your real name.
