John Dies at the End (John Dies at the End, #1)
von David Wong
David Wong 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 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 "Wong is like a mash-up of Douglass Adams and Stephen King... 'page-turner' is an understatement." --Don Coscarelli, director, Phantasm I-V, Bubba Ho-tep "That rarest of things--a genuinely scary story."--David Wellington, author of Monster Island, Vampire Zero "JOHN DIES AT THE END has a cult following for a reason: it's horrific, thought-provoking, and hilarious all at once. This is one of the most entertaining and addictive novels I've ever read."--Jacob Kier, Publisher, Permuted Press 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. 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 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. 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. 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 was my fault.

Rezension von Kristin KnillmannOk, first things first: Don't read this if you dislike the three malevolent p's - piss, poo and penis humour. Because this book is crammed with it right up to the top. <blockquote>...And, well, that's my story," I said. "I'm sorry that it's so, you know. Retarded.</blockquote> You know, I really love some good ol' penis humour. But if that'd be the only thing great about this book, it probably would've gotten about three stars. Instead I'd like to award five stars, because it may be one of the best books I've read in quite a while. "John Dies at the End" is not only extremely funny with its crude jokes and word play and weird characters, it also leaves you wanting to turn the pages before you even finished the one you're reading. You so badly want to know what happens next in the strange world of David and John. And guess what: the experience will definitely be different than what you've expected initially. The bastard just keeps changing and shuffling. Because this is what "John Dies at the End" is best at: It presents you a completely absurd story that is different in all its facets, then it twists and turns until it hurts - and in the end everything still makes sense. Or it doesn't. That may depend on you. Bottom line: This was one hell of a ride. I loved it to (John's) death.
