Kurzbeschreibung
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.
Über den Autor
David Wong is the pseudonym of Jason Pargin, online humorist, National Lampoon contributor, and editor-in-chief of Cracked.com.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I knew the author as editor at Cracked.com, an Internet comedy site, and was curious how he would do as an author. The answer: very well. His main characters are less-than-usual guys who accidentially stumble upon something that might - or does already - change the world as we know it - and surely not for good. There are many unexpected twists, and thrilling horror seamlessly switches to humour that will make you laugh out. Neither horror nor humour ever appear to be forced or artificial, it all just perfectly fits. Just don't expect the plot to be realistic or logic in any way, it is just insane. But still, some parts of it could make you think, "what if...".

Ich liebe dieses Buch! Habe es mir spontan während einem Auslandsaufenthalt gekauft und hatte so viel Spaß wie selten während des Lesens. Obwohl es eines meiner ersten Bücher auf Englisch war, habe ich den Text, die Geschichte und den Humor sehr gut verstanden. Ich kann dieses Buch nur empfehlen...vor allem wenn man eine gute Portion schwarzen Humor hat, sich gerne gruselt und einfach auf abgefahrene Geschichten steht!
Btw: Ich musste das Buch auf Grund von Übergepäck leider zurück lassen und habe es mir die Tage noch mal bestellt - der Trailer zum Film der in 2012 rauskommen soll, hat mich wieder so angespitzt, dass ich das Buch definitv noch mal lese und mir auf jeden Fall auch den Film anschaue!!
I love this book! I bought it spontaneously on an trip through Canada and had so much fun while reading it. It was one of my first books I read in English but it was quite easy to get the story and the humour...especially if you have a sense for black homour, enjoy beeing a littel creeped out and really like freaky stories.
Btw: I had to leave the book behind because my luggage was to heavy but I just bought it again and will certainly read it again before the movie comes out!

Perfect comedy meets perfect horror
17. September 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
If you blended the works of Lovecraft and Kevin Smith, then mixed that with about three parts pure awesome and left it to grow behind your fridge, you might get a vague sense of the genre David Wong bullseyes with this book. It's funny enough to appeal even to non-fans of the horror genre, yet scary enough to stay with you for a long time. It's the sort of book that can raise specters so horrible you tell yourself you couldn't ever have imagined them, yet it keeps your faith in humanity alive with the way Dave and John (especially John) seem to casually flip off a barrage of unspeakable evil. In a book that opens fighting meat-ghosts with '80s glam rock, you know you're in for something special.
It's all about the soy sauce, a mysterious substance that "chooses" its takers and imbues them permanently with an ability to pick up on the doings of other dimensions. In the short term it can provide an insight into spacetime so profound as to tell them just where to go to get a large sum of cash, or how a chicken lived its life before becoming an entree. It's also the key to an invasion from the beyond, but it doesn't end there. The evil wants in, at any cost, and it's not above even cheap schoolyard-style bullying to get its way. Luckily, Dave and John know just how to handle that.
The bizarre thing about this book is that it is literally laugh-out-loud funny, but at the same time it's hide-under-the-bed scary. It is neither horror with comic relief nor comedy with a horror theme. It's both pure comedy and pure horror, two books coexisting in one, which should be impossible but somehow David Wong can pull it off. It kept me hooked right up to the end, for more reasons than just to find out how John dies.

A Great Read
5. September 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
Most everyone can identify with the narration of this book. It asks questions about the seemingly mundane and then provides you answers that delve into a creepy supernatural world. The situations are hilarious, the twists are unexpected, and the horror is perfect. All three combine to create a truly enjoyable tale about two unlikely heroes and their exploits in a supernatural infested hometown. Pick it up, read it, and love it. You will not regret it...and the velvet Jesus will love you for it.

Squancho
5. September 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
This book by up and coming horror/comedy writer David Wong is one of the scariest novels I've read in a very long time. It's not the sort of scary where you're actually scared while reading. Mostly you will be amused, entertained, and probably a bit surprised at parts. The real terror comes once you try to sleep the next night, and the night after, and the night after that and so forth. I haven't slept a full night in the years since I first read John Dies At The End and this is the reason the state took away my driver's license.
