Synopsis

From David Wong, the writer of the cult sensation John Dies at the End comes another terrifying and hilarious tale of almost Armageddon at the hands of two hopeless heroes.Warning: You may have a huge, invisible spider living in your skull. THIS IS NOT A METAPHOR. You will dismiss this as ridiculous fear-mongering. Dismissing things as ridiculous fear-mongering is, in fact, the first symptom of parasitic spider infection -- the creature stimulates skepticism, in order to prevent you from seeking a cure. That's just as well, since the "cure" involves learning what a chainsaw tastes like. You can't feel the spider, because it controls your nerve endings. You won't even feel it when it breeds. And it will breed. Just stay calm, and remember that telling you about the spider situation is not the same as having caused it. I'm just the messenger. Even if I did sort of cause it. Either way, I won't hold it against you if you're upset. I know that's just the spider talking."Like an episode of AMC's "The Walking Dead" written by Douglas Adams of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." …Imagine a mentally ill narrator describing the zombie apocalypse while drunk, and the end result is unlike any other book of the genre. Seriously, dude, touch it and read it." –Washington Post"Kevin Smith's Clerks meets H.P. Lovecraft in this exceptional thriller… David Wong (Jason Pargin) is a fantastic author with a supernatural talent for humor. If you want a poignant, laugh-out-loud funny, disturbing, ridiculous, self-aware, socially relevant horror novel than This Book is Full of Spiders: Seriously Dude, Don't Touch It is the one and only book for you." –SF Signal

Goodreads review by Mario the lone bookwolf on June 04, 2022

One of the most freaking, funny, disturbing books I´ve ever read, a genre hybrid clash fun of unknown dimensions. Hellish cool implementation of high trope density I am not able to realize how Wong produces such an intense, dense, and stylish tour de force of seemingly well known and de facto stereoty......more

Goodreads review by Baba on November 07, 2023

If I had a Mash-up shelf, this book would go on it, as how else could I describe this dark-comedy sci-fi horror conspiracy thriller adventure of two twenty-something male slackers, a women with one hand and a dog, Molly, getting caught up in a Zombie-like viral outbreak in a small town, possible sta......more

Goodreads review by Mort on January 21, 2019

Psst... Hey, man, do you want the truth? Do you think you can handle it? Zombies? Humpf, yeah right. That's just ridiculous. The dead coming back to life to feed on human brains - hah! Complete and utter bullshit. Anyway, not much nourishment in most of the brains these days - empty, like candyfloss,......more

Goodreads review by Goosey on November 14, 2014

Pre-Read Review: WANT. NOW. Post-Read Review: I’ve read quite a few books this year - some good, some bad, but nothing that is as near to perfection as this one. Like most fans of “John Dies at the End,” I’ve been waiting for years for Spiders to finally make its way into my hands. And like most, I s......more

Goodreads review by J.L. on September 22, 2018

The paranoia of the narrator in David Wong's This Book is Full of Spiders drives this book to its spidery apocalyptic ending. The narrator is in turns funny, insightful and painfully annoying. I enjoyed this book (for a while) but found I wasn't looking forward to finishing it. It was an entertainin......more
