This book had me gagging in the most confused way because the reaction would start before anything graphic happened and/or a lil after the event was described. You're probably wondering how that even works or makes sense. I don't know, it is what it is.

But, I'm telling you, I love these pseudo-docu-horror type novels. We have "Thin Kid" narrating his experience filming an indie-college-pbc type horror film in the 90s--which actually starts to feel more like some CIA social experiment-- and then his mini-rise-to-fame era after some clips from the original filming are released on YouTube. Along with the first person narration we get to sit in on the table read of the reboot. I listened to the audiobook and the table read portions are 'chef's kiss.'

Everything seems fairly legit up front but then little hints at something way not cool are casually dropped on us and we're just left like "Wait, what?" By halfway through we are definitely like "WTF?" until the last chapter when we have to pause, look around the room to make sure everyone else is hearing this too, hit play again, finish and just stare blankly through the credits.
