About this listen

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.

I am not a fan of horror, frankly it's to scary. I don't know of this is horror or not but it is very good. The whole thing is a weird mix of stuff. The characters are cool and the dialog snappy.

If you didn't like the other books, I would be surprised if you liked this one.

If you haven't read the other, flip a coin to decide which book to start with. You will have more fun that way. :)

It's good

I enjoyed this book. I think. It was extremely complex at times and more than a little confusing but as it turns out that was the point. So just keep reading. I’m not entirely sure what it was about but it was bloody funny. Sometimes the journey is the destination. I’m off to untangle another episode of this smorgasbord of spook. Catch ya on the flip side my dudes.

Rather good

Without a doubt my favourite book series and this one easily another great entry.

Horrific
Hilarious
Mind blowing

With easily the best dialogue and descriptive text in the biz.

Bang on par with my series fav “this book is full of Spiders..”

But I love the tease of the universe opening up for John, David and Amy.

Give it a listen. Great job!

Another belter from Jason Pargain.

As usual these books always put me in a good mood.
Comedy, horror, insightfulness, and awesomeness all in one package.
Would recommend to sadists, and people looking for a good time.

Refreshingly awesome

I loved this book! I will 100% buy anything by this author after reading it.

crazy, funny, silly horror

This guy has done six books so far. Two are the Zoe books ( which are also well worth a look). This is the fourth set in the town of Undisclosed. You don’t need to start at book one but it helps a little. It was one of those books I carried around when listening to rather than leaving playing in another room while I put the kettle on. On the strength of it I ploughed through the other 5 in about 10 days.

Excellent concept and plot

David Wong, Now Jason Pargin. I've loved everything he has written. Smart, slick and laugh out loud funny.

Love these books.

A great continuation of John and Dave's escapades. Just love the whacky ideas and philosophical aspects of Jason Pargin's writing.

When is the next one due?

Awesome!

If you’re new to the series then congratulations on finding it, enjoy!

If you’ve read the other books first you probably won’t need a review to go ahead and read this one. Everything that you love about the series is included in this novel

More of the same brilliantness
