Did I ever find it in David Wong's John Dies at the End! Jacket blurb says, "a mash-up of Douglas Adams and Stephen King" so I had to check it out. It is, indeed: "engaging, comic and terrifying." What I find so creepy is that I believe a drug like this might exist. I have read about such things existing deep in ancient jungles. Could be myth or true. Who knows....bwahahahaha.

Cool book.
