3.0

without a doubt the most depraved book i’ve ever read. particularly disturbing because of how realistic the online forum elements are portrayed. provides a demented but interesting exploration of internet myth and creepypasta [?] culture and is told in a unique way. think it’s effective as a plain ole shocking and disgusting piece of fiction. another reviewer noted that the experience reading this is probably the same as if you were watch a cartel torture video. i can’t think of a more accurate description. so there’s that. some really sick twisted shit here, but can’t deny the creativity and compelling narrative structure
