Book SynopsisINCLUDES A NEW AFTERWORDFrom Jason Pargin, the New York Times bestselling author of the cult sensation John Dies at the End, comes another terrifying and hilarious tale of almost Armageddon at the hands of two hopeless heroes.Warning: You may have a huge, invisible spider living in your skull. THIS IS NOT A METAPHOR.You will dismiss this as ridiculous fear-mongering.

That''s just as well, since the cure involves learning what a chainsaw tastes like. You can''t feel the spider, because it controls your nerve endings. You won''t even feel it when it breeds. And it will breed.Just stay calm, and remember that telling you about the spider situation is not the same as having caused it. I''m just the messenger. Even if I did sort of cause it.
