EDITORIAL REVIEW:
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.***
