John Dies at the End: David Wong

Product Information

Soon after experiencing the soy sauce of doom, Dave's world falls apart. He begins to see grotesque creatures all around him. People in his life are brutally murdered and Wong finds himself the chief suspect (sometimes even in his own eyes). Soon Dave and John learn that something from another world wants to enter our own, something truly evil and deadly. Thus begins their often-hilarious quest to save our world from a malicious entity of Lovecraftian proportions. Between John's "so-stupid-it's-funny" humor, and Dave's rapier wit, I was howling with laughter throughout most of the first segment. So one likely explanation is that when the web series started under the title "John dies at the end", Wong/Pargin may have planned to actually kill him off and simply ditched the idea while the story developed. And there you have it; all these evidences that point to the conclusion that I am indeed a robot, still learning how to emote and feel. It seems everyone else (including all my book club members) loved this book or at least liked it, so that must mean I am a robot. Arnie Blondestone: A journalist investigating paranormal affairs, his interview with Dave provides a framing story for the main events of the novel. This book is its own one-of-a-kind creature. It’s the ONLY publication I have actually consistently simply * got * for people due to the fact that I know they’ll love it as well as needs to definitely have it.

He paints it out as would David Lynch(Mulholland Drive is mentioned many times in this book). Some his characters are quite reminiscent of a dark Tim Burton creation that will surly leave you breathless and or grossed out too! To say that this book is stylized would be a huge understatement and not do justice for what Wong has created here. There is so much witty humor, plays on today’s society, and hilarious banter, that I often had to stop and reread them out loud… After his book and movie deal, his real name became common knowledge, but Pargin accepted it, saying, "It's not like I'm under the Witness Protection program or anything. I was just trying to keep things simple in my personal life." [10]The wanted to push me outside, where the freaks huddled in the cold. Out there with the misfits, the broken, the glazed-eye types who can only watch as the normals enjoy their shiny new cars and careers and marriages and vacations with the kids. In late 2020, Pargin announced that he was retiring the "David Wong" pseudonym, with future editions of his works being published under his real name instead.

Maybe something more along the lines of A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore, or even 'Army of Darkness' with Bruce Campbell.
