    I’ve heard him on a bunch of podcasts and keep meaning to try his books. I’ve got a copy of this book is full of spiders, I’ll have to give it a go.

    Where’s a good place to start with his stuff?

      John Dies At The End was his first book and where I started. It’s also neat to watch his writing style evolve. I’d say John Dies or Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits, those are the first books for his two ongoing series, if you’re feeling more into horror or sci-fi.

      What podcasts? Are you a Dog Zone 9000 fan by chance?

        Great, cheers I’ll try John dies at the end.

        I’ve heard him as a frequent guest on gamefully unemployed and small beans podcasts. They’re focused on movies, he’s full of interesting takes.

          Also a big fan of all of those guys, and pretty much all of the old Cracked crew and their podcasts, he pops in on all of them. He also regularly does a podcast with the Dog Zone guys called Bigfeets where they talk about every episode of Mountain Monsters and it is one of my favorite things that has ever happened.
