You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’”๐’‚๐’–๐’„๐’†, about ๐‘ฒ๐’๐’“๐’“๐’๐’Œ, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why? You just have to trust me. ๐™๐™ƒ๐™€ ๐™„๐™ˆ๐™‹๐™Š๐™๐™๐˜ผ๐™‰๐™ ๐™๐™ƒ๐™„๐™‰๐™‚ ๐™„๐™Ž ๐™๐™ƒ๐™„๐™Ž: โ€ข ๐™๐™ƒ๐™€ ๐˜ฟ๐™๐™๐™‚ ๐™„๐™Ž ๐˜พ๐˜ผ๐™‡๐™‡๐™€๐˜ฟ ๐™Ž๐™Š๐™” ๐™Ž๐˜ผ๐™๐˜พ๐™€, ๐˜ผ๐™‰๐˜ฟ ๐™„๐™ ๐™‚๐™„๐™‘๐™€๐™Ž ๐™๐™Ž๐™€๐™๐™Ž ๐˜ผ ๐™’๐™„๐™‰๐˜ฟ๐™Š๐™’ ๐™„๐™‰๐™๐™Š ๐˜ผ๐™‰๐™Š๐™๐™ƒ๐™€๐™ ๐˜ฟ๐™„๐™ˆ๐™€๐™‰๐™Ž๐™„๐™Š๐™‰. โ€ข ๐™…๐™Š๐™ƒ๐™‰ ๐˜ผ๐™‰๐˜ฟ ๐™„ ๐™‰๐™€๐™‘๐™€๐™ ๐™ƒ๐˜ผ๐˜ฟ ๐™๐™ƒ๐™€ ๐˜พ๐™ƒ๐˜ผ๐™‰๐˜พ๐™€ ๐™๐™Š ๐™Ž๐˜ผ๐™” ๐™‰๐™Š. โ€ข ๐™”๐™Š๐™ ๐™Ž๐™๐™„๐™‡๐™‡ ๐˜ฟ๐™Š.

An estimated 70,000 people read the free online versions before they were removed in September 2008. Thomas Dunne Books published the story with additional material as a hardcover on September 29, 2009. The book was followed by three sequels, This Book Is Full of Spiders in 2012, What The Hell Did I Just Read in 2017, and If This Book Exists, You're in the Wrong Universe, in 2022. A film adaptation by Don Coscarelli was released in 2012.
