    Book SynopsisJohn Dies at the End is a genre-bending, humorous account of two college drop-outs inadvertently charged with saving their small townand the worldfrom a host of supernatural and paranormal invasions.This updated special edition includes commentary from the characters and the author![Jason Pargin] has updated the Lovecraft tradition and infused it with humor that rather than lessening the horror, increases it dramatically.
