Synopsis
It's a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't.

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
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
