A ghost story meets Creepypasta in the modern world of streaming.
Teresa hasn't been able to leave her house since the car accident that killed her best friend left her with a debilitating panic disorder. When Teresa turns to streaming for a social outlet, she finds herself falling quickly from a tenuous fame into a much darker world than she could ever imagine.
This book was a very FUN kind of spooky, while also not shying away from some particularly dark subjects. I thought they were handled generally well. The panic disorder was very well done, in my opinion, as someone who also has a panic disorder. I also loved the variety of LGBT+ rep!
I am a big Twitch watcher and a lover of Creepypastas and ARGs (Alternate Reality Games) so this was just up my alley. I thought the formatting was excellently done, really highlight the multimedia context of messaging today through multiple apps and on video sites.
I would definitely recommend this to other tech and horror lovers!
