New York Times bestselling author Jason Pargins hilarious and horrifying John Dies at the End series continues with If This Book Exists, Youre in the Wrong Universe.
If the broken neon signs, shuttered storefronts, and sub-standard housing didnt tip you off, youve just wandered into the city of 'Undisclosed'. You dont want to be caught dead here, because odds are you just might find yourself rising from the grave. That hasnt 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, weve got it all.
Did I mention the possessed toy Its a plastic football-sized egg thats supposed to hatch an adorable, colourful stuffed bird when a child 'feeds' it through a synchronised smartphone app. Whats actually inside is an otherworldly monstrosity thats enticing impressionable wayward youth into murdering folks and depositing their body parts inside the egg as if its a hungry piggy bank to trigger the end of the world.
Thats where Dave, John, and Amy come in. They face supernatural threats so the rest of us dont 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 realises this apocalypse is way above their pay grade.
