Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Jason Pargin’s hilarious and horrifying John Dies at the End series continues with If This Book Exists, You’re in the Wrong Universe.

"Pargin once again delights with scathing social commentary thinly disguised as an outrageous action novel.... This is a feast." (Publishers Weekly)

If the broken neon signs, shuttered storefronts, and sub-standard housing didn’t tip you off, you’ve just wandered into the city of “Undisclosed”. You don’t want to be caught dead here, because odds are you just might find yourself rising from the grave. That hasn’t stopped tourists from visiting to check out the unusual phenomena that hangs around our town like radioactive fallout. Interdimensional parasites feeding on human hosts, paranormal cults worshipping demonic entities, vengeful teenage sorcerers, we’ve got it all.

Did I mention the possessed toy? It’s a plastic football-sized egg that’s supposed to hatch an adorable, colorful stuffed bird when a child “feeds” it through a synchronized smartphone app. What’s actually inside is an otherworldly monstrosity that’s enticing impressionable wayward youth into murdering folks and depositing their body parts inside the egg as if it’s a hungry piggy bank to trigger the end of the world.

That’s where Dave, John, and Amy come in. They face supernatural threats so the rest of us don’t have to—and sometimes even earn a couple of bucks to so do. But between the bloody ritual sacrifices and soul-crushing nightmares, our trio realizes this apocalypse is way above their pay grade.

a fan since JDATE

Always a perfect blend of cheesy (and legitimate actual scary) horror, teenage boy humor, and Mark Manson wisdom. Love Jason’s writing. I look forward to the next Zoey Ashe book.

Read These Books

No matter the name on the book, they are hilarious. sarcastic and irreverent stories delivered by the perfect reader. I highly recommend all of Wong/Pargin books.

Pargin nails his universe once again

Jason has been one of my favorites for awhile and for anyone who enjoys this particular blend he’s been cultivating this will be another great experience!

4th book in a series

John dies at the end, is the first. Kinda like Dr Who met it’s always sunny in Philadelphia, F***ed, and this is the baby. Sci-fi comedy horror, with enough di*k jokes to make Neil Patrick Harris blush.

Perfectly surreal

I don't know what the heck was going on, but the meaning was pretty clear: don't join a cult.
