Slender Man

""Some things that are fictions are also real. Stories can take on lives of their own. Things that are made up can still hurt you."<br/><br/>I first heard about the upcoming Slender Man book at the very beginning of this year when Books in the Freezer talked about new releases on their podcast. I immediately requested a copy, and the book release kept getting pushed back. This month I received an e-mail from the publisher asking if I wanted to review it, and I was so excited! <br/><br/>I am happy to say that I had a lot of fun reading this book. This is an epistolary novel, which I tend to enjoy. I have not seen the new movie yet, but I was able to tell from other reviews that this book is not connected to the movie storyline. It's mainly set at a fancy high school in New York, so it has a bit of a Gossip Girl vibe, which I liked. <br/><br/>At some points, the diary entries are do feel a bit drawn out and long, but I never lost interest in the story. This book is not perfect, but it's an enjoyable YA horror/mystery novel. I wish there would have been a little more of the actual Slender Man character in the novel, but it was still a good read."

"Loved the mixed media usage in the form of police records and newspaper clippings"

"I was surprised, the movies have been pure trash and the lore is not really my thing. But hell this was amazing read couldn’t put it down, a bit of fear and rumors, writing of course really shows people are easily open to believing if something going bump on the night. "

"This book was amazing and easy to get into ive always had a issue finishing books and sticking with them but this was the perfect level of easy to read horror, it made as though i am matt (the main character) and is very emerging, my only issues is it left me wanting more, almost as a cliffhanger does but i can’t seem to find anything similar? no second book and since the author is anonymous i can’t see what else they’ve wrote. if anyone else had read this pls contact me with more information :)"
