cxffee_addxct's review against another edition
3.0
I remember when this case first broke when I was 15. As someone who regularly read Creepypastas at that age, it was insane to me how someone could read a story about Slenderman and then go and use fiction as a motive to stab their friend 19 times. I never saw much coverage of the crime or the trial after the initial breaking of the case though, so I never knew the details of the case and Morgan and Anissa's mental illnesses. This was an easy and fast read but it was one that kept giving me details I never expected.
I need to get a copy of this book for myself, seriously.

Incredibly detailed and researched. I remembered when Slenderman was everywhere on the internet, but hadn’t really heard about this case until very recently. Then, I saw that this book was coming out and jumped to read it. Absolutely phenomenal.

Reading the facts obtained through interviews and research is a lot different from the media coverage.

This turned into a DNF. I enjoyed the first half, but the last half was a little too “court room” for me which is to be expected. The writing it clear and it is very well done. Just not for me personally. If you like court room stuff, I highly recommend!

I remember this happening. I mostly remember the media circus that surrounded it. Getting the real story was fascinating, but also extremely depressing.
The justice system is such a hornets nest.
Well written and a very quick read. The final chapter was kind of weak, not because of where things ended (because the author had no control over that) but the stylistic choices weren't great-kind of an unfortunate way to wrap things up.
I would recommend this book.
