What the Hell Did I Just Read

384 pages | Paperback

New York Times bestselling author Jason Pargin takes readers to a new level with this dark comic horror, set in the world of John Dies at the End.

John Dies at the End's "smart take on fear manages to tap into readers' existential dread on one page, then have them laughing the next" (Publishers Weekly) and This Book is Full of Spiders was "unlike any other book of the genre" (Washington Post). Now, Pargin delivers "the humorous horror readers have come to expect" (Publishers Weekly, starred) in the third installment of this black-humored thriller series.

While investigating a fairly straightforward case of a shapeshifting entity from another dimension snatching local children, the gang realize there might actually be something weird going on. Together they will navigate a hilariously convoluted maze of illusions, lies, and their own incompetence, attempting to uncover a terrible truth they'd be better off not knowing.

Equal parts terrifying and darkly comedic in his writing, Jason Pargin “will be remembered as one of today’s great satirists” (Nerdist).
