Can someone tell me about the book without massive spoilers?

[(Anonymous)]

It's the story of two guys who, through a series of poor decisions, end up with the ability to see stuff that most other people can't, and end up fighting multi-dimensional and pretty gross evil stuff.

[(Anonymous)]

Is it really full of dicks? I remember reading the first few pages and a guy mentioned he had a nightmare about being chased by dicks, and then an excerpt where a disembodied dick was squeezed through a keyhole. Though I read the second one on Cracked so I thought it was a joke.

A book being full of stuff like that sounded kind of... exhausting and boring, so I dunno if I should pick it up.

[(Anonymous)]

Like...I don't remember dicks at all? Of all the bizarre, frightening imagery in the book, dicks are not the thing that sticks out at all.

[(Anonymous)]

as far as i remember, there's no dicks through a keyhole but there is a scene where a monster turns the doornob into a dick so neither of them dare to touch it to turn it. idk i really don't like that sort of humor but i did find the book interesting and it does some cool things with your perception of what happens.

[(Anonymous)]

there is a lot of stupid dude humor and dick/fart jokes certainly crop up more than once but i never found it distracting or off-putting even though it's not my thing at all. david wong will make a dick joke and then a page later drop some seriously creepy existentialism on you, it's brilliant. i hope you decide to give it another shot!

[(Anonymous)]

A different person dropping in who did end up finding some of the humor in that book off-putting. I don't know, it felt like it was trying too hard. I liked the movie better.

Thanks!

Two early twenties slacker-types take a drug that allows them to see and interact with beings from beyond our reality. And they can see back. And they are not happy.

Basically, Harold and Kumar go to Innsmouth. Although I don't like the Harold and Kumar movies, so don't hold those against it.

[thezmage]

Oh, yes, and one of the horrors from beyond is essentially a personification of the Internet and/or twelve year olds on X-Box Live, homophobia and all

[kallanda_lee]

I never saw any of those - but the premise sounds cool.

Harold and Kumar go to Innsmouth

Jsyk, that's the description that will have made me read the book now.

SPOILERS: john dies.

[kallanda_lee]

I heard of the movie, is it an adaptation? And are there several books? If so where to start?

[rubbertea]

the movie is an adaptation of the book. john dies at the end is the first book, so start there. there is only one sequel, this book is full of spiders.

[kallanda_lee]

Thanks a bunch, I might get into those.

I recc'ed it for the last round of the book club, let's see if I can't track it down...

Short version: what Pineapple Express would have been like if it was set in the World of Darkness.

Long version: Two stoner losers named David and John (not their real names) from the town of [Undisclosed], where weird and awful shit happens all the time, go to a party and buy drugs from a fake Jamaican named Robert Marley. The drug, called Soy Sauce, gets you so high you can see alternate dimensions (or ghosts, or just generally do weird shit (John stopped time once or twice), but in most cases it just kills you in terrifying ways), but also allows those alternate dimensions to see you. Most of the rest of the novel is about them rescuing a one-handed girl named Amy and her dog Molly from a possessed guy, and also their adventures in Shit Narnia. Also, John dies.

This novel is actually incredibly funny, and one day I will figure out how to run the setting as a tabletop game. It was written by one of the guys from Cracked, and sets a really good balance between creepy-ass horror and surreal humor. Also, there's a movie version that I would likely be willing to stream for the club if I can track down a copy and figure out how streaming works. No trigger warnings except for possibly excessive dick jokes.

Thank you!
