The New York Times bestselling novel that reads “like an episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead written by Douglas Adams of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” (Washington Post)Originally released as an online serial where it received more than 70,000 downloads, John Dies at the End has been described as a "Horrortacular", an epic of "spectacular" horror that combines the laugh out loud humor of the best R-rated comedy, with the darkest terror of H.P. Lovecraft. The book went on to sell an additional 90,000 copies in all formats and is now a major motion picture from cult director Don Coscarelli starring Paul Giamatti. As the sequel opens, we find our heroes, David and John, again embroiled in a series of horrifying yet mind-bogglingly ridiculous events caused primarily by their own gross incompetence. The guys find that books and movies about zombies may have triggered a zombie apocalypse, despite a complete lack of zombies in the world. As they race against the clock to protect humanity from its own paranoia, they must ask themselves, who are the real monsters? Actually, that would be the shape-shifting horrors secretly taking over the world behind the scenes that, in the end, make John and Dave kind of wish it had been zombies after all. Hilarious, terrifying, engaging and wrenching, This Book Is Full of Spiders takes us for a wild ride with two slackers from the midwest who really have better things to do with their time than prevent the apocalypse.

I. Hate. This. Book. Okay, not really, but the ending, which I won't spoil, was upsetting. So let me tell you, this book was well and truly full of spiders. Gross. It made me shudder just reading about them!!!! This sequel was all together creepier, and more serious than it's predecessor. Jo...
First of all, look at that cover. On second thought, if you’re afraid of spiders, cover your eyes and scroll on by. I really like it, and I don’t normally take much notice of book covers. Pictures don’t usually do much for me; I’d rather have 1000 words. But apparently I like pictures of books w...
Compared to John Does at the End, the structural problems here are minor. This actually reads like a novel rather than the world's worst 'fix-up.' But, sadly, this wasn't as zany as the first and it didn't have nearly the number of crazy gags, mysterious world building elements, and good humor per p...
David Wong's novel is like a mixture of Slash Horror, Science Fiction, crazy psycho stuff and Soft Porn language. I admit that I read his first novel "John Dies at the End" just because I was curious whether John actually dies at the end or not (which I am not going to tell you now - read it yoursel...
Pros: imaginative and scaryCons: narrative voice was annoying
