<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>John Dies at the End </i>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.</b><b> <p/>This edition includes exclusive behind-the-scenes essays from the director and the author.</b> <p/>[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 couldn't see, and that because I suspected this, I was next. Engaging, comic, and terrifying. --Joe Garden, Features Editor, The Onion <p/>[Pargin] is like a mash-up of Douglas Adams and Stephen King... 'page-turner' is an understatement. --Don Coscarelli, director, <i> Phantasm I-V</i>, <i>Bubba Ho-tep</i> <p/>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. <b>My name is David.</b> 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 <b>the sauce</b>, about <b>Korrok</b>, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under <b>the eye</b>. 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. <p/><b>The important thing is this: </b>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. <p/>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. <p/>I'm sorry to have involved you in this, I really am. But as you read about these terrible events and the very <b>dark epoch</b> the world is about to enter as a result, it is crucial you keep one thing in mind: <b>None of this was my fault.</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<i>John Dies at the End</i>...[is] a case of the author trying to depict actual, soul-sucking lunacy, and succeeding with flying colors." --<i>Fangoria</i> <p/>"[Jason Pargin] is like a mash-up of Douglas Adams and Stephen King . . . 'page-turner' is an understatement." --<i>Don Coscarelli, director, Phantasm I-V and Bubba Ho-tep</i> <p/>"[Jason Pargin] has managed to write that rarest of things---a genuinely scary story." --<i>David Wellington, author of Monster Island and Vampire Zero</i> <p/>"The rare genre novel that manages to keep its sense of humor strong without ever diminishing the scares." --<i>The Onion AV Club</i> <p/>"Sure to please the <i>Fangoria</i> 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." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"When it's funny, it's laugh-out-loud funny, yet when the situation calls for chills, it provides them in spades." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"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." --<i>i09.com</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>JASON PARGIN is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the John Dies at the End series as well as the award-winning first book in the Zoey Ashe series, <i> Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits</i><i>, </i>formerly published under the pseudonym David Wong.
