Narrado por: Stephen R. Thorne

John Dies at the End is a genre-bending, humorous account of two college drop-outs inadvertently charged with saving their small town—and the world—from a host of supernatural and paranormal invasions.

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.

An incredibly strange & fun story

I wasn't sure about this story until reading some of the other reviews. I'm glad a gave it a shot, it was totally worth the time!

Strangely unique, interesting characters & a narrator that made the listen enjoyable.

great story if you can enjoy the humour

I highly recommend this book to anyone I know that enjoys dick and fart jokes.

One of my favorites

This funny romp thru the paranormal is an easy read and still quite chilling. Do NOT see the movie! It reeks!
This book is well worth the time.

Absurd Horror, a new genre?

This is absurd, silly, horrific, funny, horrific, and spectacularly unpredictable. The narration is excellent. And the sequel is even better.

Funny but bizarre

Any additional comments?

This book was funny, but you have to abandon all logic to follow the story, if "following" it is even possible. There are a lot of poop, fart, and penis jokes. I had a lot of laughs, but found the story unfulfilling. I think my little brother would really like it and appreciate it more than I did. He would probably rate it 4 or 5 stars. I would recommend it to certain people, but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. Most of the story makes little sense and it hops around so much. There are a lot of puns. I'm cool with puns. I got it when it was on sale, and I am happy with the purchase. I would not have wanted to pay full price for this book, but $4 isn't bad for it. It gave me several hours of comedy while I worked. I was told it was made into a movie. My friend said she loved the movie. I have not seen the movie, but I think this might translate better into a movie.

The narrator did an awesome job of bringing the story to life. I always appreciate that about Audible's books.
