I thought this was going to be more of a past to present setting, but it was almost entirely set in the past which I did not love. I also didn't feel there to be any need to have the blog portion or really even the present portion outside of the reveal and some references. I would have DNFed but I didn't have anything else to read and I wanted horror. This whole thing felt unfinished and jumbled together in a way that wasn't super pleasant to read. I also felt it SUPER weird to somewhat end up giving the audience a reason to dismiss people with real disorders like schizophrenia as just being possessed or faking it. Very gross and not helpful.
