Consumed this in a few sittings but at about the halfway point just had to rip my way to the end cause it was MOVING, like we had entered a rollercoaster phase that I didn’t sign up for but was happy to be strapped into.
Short chapters. Zippy cliffhangers. Mixed media of interviews and text conversations and narratives.
None of the characters were particularly standout, but because it’s a horror book, that’s not usually something I’m looking for. This worked for me, mileage may vary.
I definitely had no idea where this was going and it built like a layer cake. It gave you all the ingredients and slowly walked you through the pieces and let you figure out what was coming next JUST before it gave it to you.
This was really fun, and I might actually try to hunt down this writer’s NoSleep content just to see what else he’s done…
