Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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 its 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, well 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. Review:David Wong has updated the Lovecraft tradition and infused it with humor that rather than lessening the horror, increases it dramatically. Engaging, comic, and terrifying. Joe Garden, Features Editor, The Onion.
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
Review:"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
Review:"David Wong has managed to write that rarest of things — a genuinely scary story." David Wellington, author of Monster Island and Vampire Zero
Review:"The rare genre novel that manages to keep its sense of humor strong without ever diminishing the scares." The Onion AV Club
Review:"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
Review:"When it's funny, it's laugh-out-loud funny, yet when the situation calls for chills, it provides them in spades." Kirkus Reviews
