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 updated special edition includes commentary from the characters 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 couldn't 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 book 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.
