    <body><![CDATA[Honestly, there's no way to explain this. A horror story on crack, maybe. Here's a protip: wait for the second printing of this book (during the second half of '09), buy it, check it out, read it. Laugh, cry, wonder what the blazes you just read, read it again. Do it. For the lulz. ]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<strong>The word-of-mouth phenomenon read online by over 50,000 readers is now available in print!</strong>  <p><em>Telling the story now, I'm tempted to say something like, &quot;Who would have thought that John would help bring about the end of the world?&quot;  I won't say that, though, because most of us who grew up with John thought he</em> would <em>help end the world somehow.</em>  <p>It's a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't.</p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Often, a book that attempts to combine horror, action, and humor ends up getting it’s plot hopelessly lost in the literary version of a person who loves the sound of his/her own voice so much, that the author writes endlessly without saying much of anything. Oh yeah, these people love the smell of...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20499138">more...</a>]]></body>
