@swan_tower@wandering.shop I just finished "If This Book Exists, You're in the Wrong Universe" by Jason Pargin for the second time.
It's the fourth book in the John Dies at the End series. Disturbing and funny horror books about three young adults who repeatedly save the universe from certain doom despite their incompetence and lack of resources.
I found all of the books to be laugh out loud funny, psychologically damaging, and they will probably leave you with some kind of cosmic curse or interdimensional parasite. The author says each book is a standalone tale, which is true, but I recommend them all.

@swan_tower@wandering.shop oh! And Don Coscarelli made a movie out of the first book, which is pretty faithful to it while also leaving a ton of stuff out. It gives you a pretty good sense of vibe of the book, minus the harder hitting horror elements.
