It's really interesting how strongly Pargin has managed to "brand" himself, at least in my mind. I read the title you mentioned, and despite only having read "John Dies at the End", I insta-guessed it's the same author.

Weird thing is that "John Dies at the End" sounds like something I'd love, and yet I really bounced off of it when trying to read it. I've been meaning to give it another go.

That series definitely had a different feel at the start compared to his current work (and even later work in the same series).

He's no less funny, but he's honed in on exploring the human condition (in a natural way) in each of his books.
