John dies at the end prologue through chapter 5

 Prologue pg 1

David Wong is our narrator. He "works" with the titular John.  They're ghost hunters.  They are visited by a pretty girl saying her dead boyfriend is harassing her.  Turns out she's a ghost.  She posseses a freezer of frozen meat and attacks David and John.  They try to stop it with a boom box, but it destroys the boom box with a canned ham. At that point what they call the "meatstrosity" starts talking about how they've been after this ghost for so long.  Turns out the ghost has them confused for a TV ghost hunters.  They call said TV ghost hunter so they can talk to the ghost.  After talking on the phone for a minute the meatstrosity explodes.  TV ghost hunter is really good.

Ch 1 pg 23

David Wong is not David wong's real name.   It's a fake name to make him hard to Google.  Same as John.  He's being interviewed by a whacky story reporter.  He convinces him he's the real deal by telling him what he dreamed last night.  He tells him about this all started.  It was at a very lame music festival where John's band was playing.  There was a guy there with magic powers similar to the ones David now has.  In this story the guy speaks with a Jamaican accent and does the same thing of telling David what he dreamed last night and betting him a beer he can do it. Only it doesnt convince David to play along. It just makes him want to get the hell away from that guy.

David meets up with John later at the bar and Jamaican accent guy is there. David gets the fuck out of there.  He later throws up a centipede and carved into his hand is the phrase you owe me a beer.

Ch 2 pg 45

John calls David in the middle of the night. He's super crazy high on drugs.  David goes over and "saves" him.  He is planning to take him to the hospital. John talks him out of it.  John is high on a drug the Jamaican accent guy called soy sauce. Jamaican accent guy said his name was Robert Marley. 

Stuff gets crazier when David and John are at a diner and David receives a call from John saying to meet him in Las Vegas.

There is this dog.  It has an address.  They take it to the address.  It's big Jim's house.  Big Jim isn't there.  His sister is and says she thinks Robert Marley killed big Jim.

David takes John and goes to work.  I guess to try to regain some sense of Normalcy. A black bald guy shows up, says he's a detective and they need to go with him.

Ch 3 pg 67

The cops are asking him questions about last night and most everyone involved is dead or missing Jennifer Lopez and big Jim are missing.  That's a good sign cause the alter is dead. Bob marleys real name is Bruce Mathews.  They tell him John died but they're working on making him not dead.  He gets a phone call.  It's John.  He tells him to GTFO!!!!!! And he does.

Ch 4 pg 88

John tells him to go to Bruce Matthew's trailer and he does.  He tells him to specifically not do one thing but gets cut off at a critical time and so David doesn't know what that one thing is.  Bruce's trailer is trippy.  It's got a room painted so if you look it it right it looks like it's outside. Also there's a basement. 

He finds what he's looking for in the freezer.  Frozen wierd black "drug" they're calling soy sauce.  

The detective comes to the trailer and decides he has had enough and burna the trailer with gasoline.  He also shoots david and leaves him for dead.  But the bullet was defective so david isnt dead.  Also a car crashes through the side of the trailer and David gets out and drives the car away.  The car was being driven by big Jim's dog.  The dog is being possesed by John.  John and the rest of the missing people are in an ambulance heading to Las Vegas. So David amd John in the dog body are heading to Las Vegas. 

Ch 5 pg 118

David goes home to shower and change clothes. Justin (who's infested with wierd white not quite bug things) shows up and kicks his ass and throws him and the dog into the back of a truck.  All the other soy sauce people are there.  Big Jim, Jennifer Lopez, John and another guy who's name I forgot.

They are in a booze truck.  They have this plan to make molotov cocktails and throw them at Justin when the truck doors open.  This plan kinda falls apart when he opens the door and Justin just looks like a normal dude.  Jennifer is the only one to throw hers but she misses and everyone else just sorta goes along quietly. 

They're in what I'm gonna call a barn.  Justin plops some sludge on the ground and tells the guy who's name I don't remember to pee on it.  It turns into a monster.

There's a FedEx package that John sent himself.  It has a note that says to get the thing from under the bush.  Justin goes to investigate. There's nothing under the bush.  What there is out there is the detective who shoots Justin a bunch with a shotgun.  Justin drives away in the booze truck.  Everyone else crams into the detective's SUV and they know from psychic powers to head to the luxor in Las Vegas.  They start heading that way until the detective starts talking about the voices and his eyes explode and a bunch of the evil white not bug things that are controlling Justin come out.  

That should be scary enough because it seems like they're all gonna get turned into whatever Justin is.  But it's worse than that cause David tries to grab the steering wheel and doesn't quite manage it and the car drives off the road and flips over.  So we will see if anyone is alive to get infected by evil white not quite bug things.
