Reviews

"Sure to please the Fangoria set while appealing to a wider audience, the book's smart take on fear manages to tap into readers' existential dread on one page, then have them laughing the next." (Publishers Weekly on John Dies)"

Wong's much anticipated sequel to John Dies at the End, narrated in the first person with the author as the protagonist, tells the story of a small town that is suddenly besieged with spider-like creatures that take over a victim's body and turn them into zombie-like monsters with supernatural strength and speed. A heavy dose of crude comedy akin to what you'd find at Cracked.com, where the pseudonymous Wong (Jason Pargin) is the editor in chief, contrasts with the vivid horror that runs through the book. Many characters die, and their demise are often very gruesome, but the jaded perspectives of Wong and his best friend John strike an interesting symmetry. Owing to the graphic nature of the horror as well as the perverse humor, this book is suggested for older teens and adults. Verdict Zombie fiction fans looking for a fresh take on a trope that has become a bit overplayed will want to give this title a shot.-Matt Schirano, Grand Canyon Univ.
