{"product_id":"9781250135315","title":"What the Hell Did I Just Read: A Novel of Cosmic Horror","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's the story \"They\" don't want you to read. Though, to be fair, \"They\" are probably right about this one. To quote the Bible, \"Learning the truth can be like loosening a necktie, only to realize it was the only thing keeping your head attached.\" No, don't put the book back on the shelf — it is now your duty to purchase it to prevent \u003ci\u003eothers\u003c\/i\u003e from reading it. Yes, it works with e-books, too, I don't have time to explain how.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile investigating a fairly straightforward case of a shape-shifting interdimensional child predator, Dave, John and Amy realized there might actually be something weird going on. Together, they navigate a diabolically convoluted maze of illusions, lies, and their own incompetence in an attempt to uncover a terrible truth they — like you — would be better off not knowing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour first impulse will be to think that a story this gruesome — and, to be frank, stupid — cannot possibly be true. That is precisely the reaction \"They\" are hoping for. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Dies at the End\u003c\/i\u003e's \"smart take on fear manages to tap into readers' existential dread on one page, then have them laughing the next\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e) and \u003ci\u003eThis Book is Full of Spiders\u003c\/i\u003e was \"unlike any other book of the genre\" (\u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e).
