John dies at the end


It has developed a bit of a cult following.

It's based on the book of the same name. It's awesome and I would highly recommend buying and reading the book.

John Dies at the End by David Wong. By far.

John Dies At The End, a fantastic horror/comedy novel by site editor David Wong. You can also pre-order the sequel, This Book Is Full Of Spiders.

Have an upvote for your John Dies at the End reference. :)

Bitch, you best be joking.

I agree, David Wong needs to be working somewhere with a little more prestige that will give him some breathing room. Barring that, he should be writing a book.

EDIT: Make that another book.

The shadow people remind me of the ones from John Dies at the End. I consider myself a skeptic but I've seen a shadow man too. He would stand waiting for me to go into my room. He had a dog too...

Are you a book guy? This Book Is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch It comes out in 3 days. Its predecessor, John Dies at the End, is hands-down the funniest book I have ever read, and it's solidly in my top 5 favorite books of all time.

I bet this was the book he was doing the report on

Oh neat! Seems fun. Fear cuts deeper than swords.

5. A book I should read! - DVDs/Books list. I've wanted to read it since it came out, just haven't gotten the chance to. The movie was fabulous too.

11. Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. - Health/Beauty list. Because I get bad back pain and muscle knots from my scoliosis and they can sometimes prevent me from doing what I need to do properly. Alternate from a Private wishlist because I may have to quit my job due to respiratory irritation from the chemicals.
    
12. One of those pesky Add-On items. - Health/Beauty list. I hate Add-on Items.

John Dies at the End started with one of these, but I never knew what it was called. Thanks

John Dies at the End by David Wong

Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk

Ballad of the Whiskey Robber by Julian Rubinstein <- This one I actually got shushed on the subway for laughing too hard while reading it.

Edit: Links

John Dies at the End by David Wong. It's a horror/comedy book written by one of the writers at Cracked.

Clearly this one..

I was reading John Dies at the End last night in bed and had a few moments of... horrorterror

Here are a few books I'm reading right now:

1. John Dies at the End
   
2. Infinite Jest
   
   
3. House of Leaves

Just a few: Mr. Peanut, John Dies at the End, The Magicians, Horns, Running Dog, The Name of the Wind, A Visit from the Goon Squad.

I'm going to second, House Of Leaves (Goodreads). It's a challenging read, but it tells such a fantastic story. You can get lost in it. It took me about a month and I spent that month completely paranoid, afraid of the dark and nervous about opening doors. If you go with this one make sure you get the physical book the eBook version does not cut it.

John Dies At The End (Goodreads) is a comedy horror book that's also really great. It's not terribly heavy on the disgusting side but it's worth checking out none the less. The sequel is coming out in a month or so.

I haven't read Misery (Goodreads) but it's a King novel that's been recommended to me for all the reasons you've mentioned above. It's on my list and I hope to get around to it soon.

If you've read "John Dies at the End" this will not come as a surprise.

I know a book you might like.

I'm in the block of acknowledgements at the end of John Dies at the End and I'm mentioned in the album liner of In Evening Air by Future Islands. Also, I'm in a picture in Look at this Fucking Hipster (technically in the background, but it's an iconic picture that the author wrote a paragraph about).

It's nice (although a bit narcissistic) to be able to walk around a book store and point out random things with my name or image in them. Also, I've been recognized on the street several times for various reasons.

EDIT: Oh, and I wrote a song that has over 31,000 YouTube views. However, I don't think anybody actually watched the video for the song. And the "song" is actually a minute long clip looped several times.

EDIT EDIT: I also sent in a correction to Mental Floss's daily fact newsletter thing. I'm not sure how many people actually subscribe to Watercooler Ammo, but I got mentioned by name.

That's the "first edition." From what I heard, he posted the story online, and it took off so he got a book publishing deal for a couple thousand copies. They all sold out, so now people are selling them for thousands of dollars as they can be considered a collectible item.

Here you go, 10-20$

Amusing! This book is supposed to be really funny. The list price is $14 CAD, but there are other options from $2 CAD :)

I say read "John Dies at the End" by David Wong if you liked this question. Those who have read it will understand what I mean.

That was one of the earlier editions, I guess. This one costs $10.

John dies at the end

I'm a defender of my genre, so here's my two recent picks:

John Dies @ the End

And, even though I've only gotten through the first fourth of this, the beginning was so intense and cinematic that it's the most excited I've been while reading in a great while (and I'm psyched to finish it!): American Elsewhere

John Dies at the End has a couple parts that take place inside of an abandoned, never-completed mall.

John Dies at the End. It is actually the funniest, most witty book I've ever read.
