New York Times bestselling 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"Within the snarky humor is an incisive commentary on social media and the state of our connected world, and a story about trauma and how people lash out when they’re hurt…This isn’t just a funny tale of inept supernatural investigators; it’s a story of people struggling through pain to find a better path. Pargin offers us a welcome note of hope.” — Booklist Horror is such a love-it-or-hate-it genre. Even in my own home, we have a clear divide. I love the slight panic that rises in my own chest as eerie music swells and an unknowable evil approaches. Whether the monsters are monstrous or wearing human skin, I just can’t get enough. I’m always looking for boo-tastic books, vicious video games, and mortifying movies. My wife has no interest in horror. Not books or movies or video games. She doesn’t want to jump out of her seat or bear witness to fictional torment. She’d rather rewatch a comfort show or curl up with a fantasy novel right now. But as the movie Cabin in the Woods proves, humor can bridge the gap, making horror vastly more accessible to larger audiences. There are plenty of books you can read to help you flirt with terror and tickle your funny bone at the same time. Here are 10 such humor horror books. Gasp and guffaw. Scream and cackle and giggle and startle. These humor horror books are sure to have you doing all of them. What are some of your favorites?
