Slenderman: Online Obsession, Mental Illness, and the Violent Crime of Two Midwestern Girls by Kathleen Hale

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.
