Inhaltsangabe

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 Korrock, 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.

Críticas:

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

The book takes every pop culture trend of the past twenty years, peppers it with 14-year-old humor, and blends it all together with a huge heaping of splatterpunk gore.... Successfully blend[s] laugh-out-loud humor with legitimate horror. i09.com

"A buddy comedy with real heart. And brains. Lots of brains ... John Dies at the End's biggest success is that its leads react almost as exactly as we would: a bit crazy, a bit brave and a whole lot of 'what the f-?' 4/5 stars." --Sci-Fi Now

Reseña del editor:

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 Korrock, 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. It is crucial you keep one thing in mind: none of this is my fault.
