Book Synopsis

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.

Now a Major Motion Picture.

"[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-tep

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. 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 sauce is a drug, 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.

  • Don’t Mind the Bratwurst

    I read this book back in 2007 when it came out and just read it again after all that time. It’s a crazy story that pretty much makes no sense at the same time as making all the sense in the world. From the soy sauce and the freezer meat monster, to the bratwurst incident and parallel dimensions, this book messes with your head. Great book!
  • I need more David Wong!

  • A must-read book

    This book is unlike any other I've ever read. It totally grabs attention with dire situations, high stakes, and throughout it all a dark humor that made me laugh out loud many times. Couldn't recommend a book any higher than this one! P.S. You will never be able to think of soy sauce the same way
  • Incredible

    This book is the strangest, funniest, craziest, most insane books I have ever read, and it's fantastic. The wrtiting is smart, suspenseful, hilarious, and interesting. It's the greatest book I have ever read.
  • The book dies at the end NOT John!

    A page turner till the end . . . and then Wong's wong went limp. I could eat a dictionary and puke a better ending! What a waste of time. I hope the movie does a better job, but I'll wait for it at Redbox. I wouldn't chance more than a buck twenty. (When did John die?)
  • Lovecraft with a modern twist?

    I really enjoyed this story. Looking forward to the movie. I thought the book would not have suffered had the author left out the racial slurs. I enjoyed the humor as much as the horror.
  • Awesome book.

    Take any quality that makes a book good. Throw those all into a blender with a couple of bratwursts and the resulting mush should closely resemble this book. The book lied to me a couple of times though.
  • Top five favourite books.

    Easily one of the best books I've ever read. It's funny, the characters are great, the writing is excellent, and it's fascinating. I was drawn in by the title (probably my favourite thing about the book) and stayed reading because of the humour and cleverness of it all. An excellent read, I highly recommend it!
  • Fantastic
