I like the subtle tension and the quiet violence of your story. Things were disturbing, and the evil presence was anxiety inducing.

This is definitely a dark, hard read. However, the elements of a haunting and suicide were woven together brilliantly. This is a story that won’t leave your mind soon.

A book about the call of the void and the wild west era of the early internet.

Some really haunting pieces of writing here that stick with you, providing some real spooky visuals.

- solid albeit slightly cliche concept
- stakes feel higher and more intense by the end, but it takes too long to get there
- the characters are forgettable, no description, little introspection or differentation (apart from the narrator)
- analog horror about video tapes doesn't translate well to the written word
