New York Times bestselling 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
"Within the snarky humor is an incisive commentary on social media and
the state of our connected world, and a story about trauma and how
people lash out when they're hurt...This isn't just a funny tale of
inept supernatural investigators; it's a story of people struggling
through pain to find a better path. Pargin offers us a welcome note of
hope." -- Booklist
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.
