Aw hell this is late as balls but let's put it in for the poll:

John Dies at the End by David Wong

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.

Also I forgot to add it's 460 pages, but it's not like it's high literature or anything, and everything up to page 180 or so is pretty much self-contained.

Isn't this the book that was originally only sold as an ebook for $400?

...not that I'm aware? It was originally a webnovel that I read for free in something like 2005, but has since been commercially published in both electronic and dead tree form for reasonable prices. If they did list it for $400, I'm pretty sure it was as a joke.

Seconding this! I've wanted to read it for a while but just haven't yet.
