Anything by Jason Pargin is awesome. The dude basically created the millenial internet discourse with Cracked. He’s now pretty big on things like TikTok and YouTube and I highly recommend following him.
I am also a subscriber, I read John Dies At The End when it was a free book being discussed and shared when Jason was on SomethingAwful way back in the 2000’s, it was a great piece of easy-to-digest fiction that touched on a lot of themes and memes that were going around at the time so it gained a level of notoriety because of the creepiness factor of how much seemed to connect to headlines at the time.
Jason is just a good author and good at tying together a lot of wildly varied ideas into one point, better than most at it without coming off as conspiratorial, I think he deserves a lot more subscribers and reward for staying so consistent. (Other than about his name that is.)
Holy shit, there are others! I fucking loved the movie, considering the budget they did an OK job, it’s only like 1/3 of the book that has been randomized, but it gives that taste of the truly strange that is so rare to find. It’s a trash ass film, though, through and through. Great cast, though.
The books are my all time favorite series, I can’t wait for the next one. Have you read any of Jason Pargin’s other books? They’re all bangers.
Black Box Of Doom was really good, I highly recommend it. It’s very different from his other books as far as setting, since it’s set in the regular normal non-lovecraftian/Blade Runner world, but the story is just as gonzo as his other books, I had a blast reading it.
John dies at the end, I really like the book series and some of the lines are great but overall a poorly edited garbage movie
Most of the Halloween movies, resident evil, and underworld are sloppy messes I’m here for just to see how weird they go
And a bunch of the cheap, pulp horror like Troma and actiony Neil Breen that aren’t on most streaming services

I loved the John dies at the end series, I didn’t know they were adapted into a movie!
If you loved the book, you would probably not like the movie.

Yeah! The Zoey Ashe series is great too. I haven’t read the last book he released yet but I do really enjoy his stories and style.
