    Default John Dies at the End

    Any fans of this one, or its sequel, This Book is Full of Spiders? I am only about halfway through the second, so I can't promise it is great all the way through, but I definitely enjoyed the first, and am enjoying this one so far. Sort of horror comedy, with protagonists who I have seen compared to the main characters in the Clerks movies...just a couple of small town jackasses, who happen to be able to see things that others can't and thus get sucked into missions to save the world from various supernatural horrors. The thing is, despite being filled with moments of hilarity, these books also contain plenty of horror and suspense. Conceptually, some of the evils they deal with are quite scary. The authour's ability to blend comedy and horror without taking anything away from either is impressive.

    I've always meant to read these books....I read cracked.com constantly and the author of these books is the editor of that website.

    Thanks for reminding me, I really need to track them down.
