Story
STOP. You should not have touched this flyer with your bare hands. NO, don't put it down. It's too late. They're watching you. My name is David Wong. My best friend is John. Those names are fake. You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

Story
Outside Los Angeles, a driver pulls up to find a young woman sitting on a large black box. She offers him $200,000 cash to transport her and that box across the country, to Washington, DC. But there are rules: He cannot look inside the box. He cannot ask questions. He cannot tell anyone. They must leave immediately. He must leave all trackable devices behind. As these eccentric misfits hit the road, rumors spread on social media that the box is part of a carefully orchestrated terror attack intended to plunge the USA into civil war.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling author Jason Pargin’s hilarious and horrifying John Dies at the End series continues with If This Book Exists, You’re in the Wrong Universe.
"Pargin once again delights with scathing social commentary thinly disguised as an outrageous action novel.... This is a feast." (Publishers Weekly)
If the broken neon signs, shuttered storefronts, and sub-standard housing didn’t tip you off, you’ve just wandered into the city of “Undisclosed”. You don’t want to be caught dead here, because odds are you just might find yourself rising from the grave. That hasn’t stopped tourists from visiting to check out the unusual phenomena that hangs around our town like radioactive fallout. Interdimensional parasites feeding on human hosts, paranormal cults worshipping demonic entities, vengeful teenage sorcerers, we’ve got it all.
Did I mention the possessed toy? It’s a plastic football-sized egg that’s supposed to hatch an adorable, colorful stuffed bird when a child “feeds” it through a synchronized smartphone app. What’s actually inside is an otherworldly monstrosity that’s enticing impressionable wayward youth into murdering folks and depositing their body parts inside the egg as if it’s a hungry piggy bank to trigger the end of the world.
That’s where Dave, John, and Amy come in. They face supernatural threats so the rest of us don’t have to—and sometimes even earn a couple of bucks to so do. But between the bloody ritual sacrifices and soul-crushing nightmares, our trio realizes this apocalypse is way above their pay grade.

Weird delights
I think this is a very very good audiobook. I am open to the possibility that it is bad, and I have bad taste. It falls so neatly into the centre of the Venn diagram of things I like in stories - high strangeness, dark humour, and characters on the margins - that I cannot be objective. But, as far as I am concerned, this is the Great American Novel. Or a lot of fun, anyway.

Another great book in this series
I love this series, and had the book preordered and grabbed the audiobook right away. Now, I’m unsure if it’s because I’m listening to the audiobook so soon after reading- my mind decided it’s own “version” of the book, but I found I didn’t enjoy the performance of this one. I found the pacing of the reading to be EXTREMELY odd, as if he didn’t read ahead. Kept trying to end sentences early, and then realizing they kept going. “The v… and h!… of the van halen logo” was one that I took note of for this review.
I don’t recall the performance being this jarring listening to the other ones he narrated for this series, but very grating to me this time!
I enjoyed the way each alternating character POV was done, he made it easy to understand the different voice of each character. And all in all I do enjoy his reading of this story! I might have to go back to book 1 and 3 to see if the pacing is similar. As I was listening to it with my girlfriend -who has not read the book- she mentioned also finding the pacing odd.
Either way- another amazing story! Even with my personal dislike of the narrator, I recommend 100%

Loved it. Jason's books always help me understand weird things about mental health and perception of the world. It's comforting to know there are plans for a 5th book. Great premise, great characters, great dialog, great narrator. Gonna go back and listen to the series from the start now.

if you like the series you'll like this one
John, David and Amy take on a global time traveling summoning spell. much like the other books. there's lots of interdimensional parasites and invisible monsters that only people have taken soy sauce can see. The situations are strange, and they sort of bumble through it.
Much like the other books. the performance of the very good. The take on the supernatural is interesting.
