5.0

Gracefully and professionally transcends the prurient legends and gossip. The truth is less sensational and far more heart-breaking.

Required reading for anyone who wants to truly understand the significance of the "Slenderman" attack and its aftermath.

dark informative fast-paced

5.0

I only knew about this case from random info on social media that turned out not to be very accurate. I appreciated the empathy shown towards Morgan and Anissa and their mental health issues. Tragic but not in the way I’d ever assumed.
