"There was nothing that could identify who had written [the notebook]. And neither of us ever considered giving it to the police. They would catch him eventually, without our doing anything. If we gave them the notebook, they might arrest him faster, and there might be fewer victims—so it probably should have been our duty to turn it in. Sadly, though, neither of us had the kind of conscience that was bothered by keeping it to ourselves. We were cruel, reptilian high school kids."

first of all i'd like to thank the internet archive for hosting a scan of this book! and secondly id like to thank the r/horrorlit subreddit for recommending this book on a Most Disturbing Book You Have Read discussion post :) it was really good! i enjoyed it more than i expected! the dog chapter made me pretty nervous but that's also the point where the book revealed itself as something way cooler and deeper than i thought it would be! definitely not a book i would recommend to any non-freaks out there but damn. i love u horror
