John Dies at the End

John Dies at the End
John Dies at the End (JDatE) is a novel available on Amazon that you can also read for free on the web. It actually started as a short Halloween story on the author's website. It's a very successful mix of horror and comedy, and I highly recomend it, especially if you like horror stories (but don't read it too late at night...). Here's an excerpt :

“Hey, Dave. You remember that guy whose basement got flooded, then called us and swore he had a 15-foot great white shark swimmin’ down there?”

I did remember but I didn’t answer, afraid of losing that thread of thought that kept floating just out of reach like a wayward balloon on a windy day. Besides, when we got there, it turned out it wasn’t a great white at all. Just a garden variety 8-foot tiger shark. We told the guy to wait until the basement dried out and call us back. When the water left, so did the shark, as if it evaporated or seeped out the tiny cracks in the concrete.

I can’t explain that one. The guy probably thought we were experts after that, but what were we gonna do? Harpoon it? Stick an oxygen tank in its mouth and blow it up? We figured it’s a shark, it needs water. What do you want from me?
