Connections
Mike Dies at the End is a tongue-in-cheek homage to John Dies at the End, though the similarities are largely in the title, the first paragraph (which is, word for word, the same as the first paragraph of John Dies at the End), and the setup of two male friends who are able to see the hidden supernatural world. Oh, and the puns. There are some puns.
Mike Dies at the End is a direct prequel to This Story Is Full of Scorpions: Seriously, Dude, Don't Read It.
