If you’ve ever wondered if analog horror/found footage could work on the page, Raab proves it can with this eerie book.

A fantastic metafictional B-movie horror novella that's thrilling and funny and weird and unsettling. Raab clearly knows his stuff, from the conventions of trashy horror films to some engaging behind-the-scenes/production details that give the whole story a great sense of authenticity. This reminded me a little of an episode of Inside No. 9 - smart and weird, something that does an excellent job of riffing on a different format. There's so much rich and carefully constructed detail here for such a short piece. Cannot recommend enough.
