Overall Thoughts:
⁕ I’ve never read a work of meta fiction before, and I found Chizmar’s take on the genre absolutely fascinating. You don’t know what actually occurred and what was fictional until the VERY end.

⁕ It takes a lot to creep me out, but this book had me up past my bedtime with the lights on 😂 The blending of actual circumstances with horror elements made the horror elements feel all the more real and possible. I was thoroughly spooked.

⁕ Chris Andrew Culla’s narration of the audiobook made it feel like I was listening to a true crime podcast. If you like Serial, Up and Vanished, In the Dark, etc., then this might be the perfect audiobook experience for you!
