 I just really loved this reading experience. Sometimes, in publishing, all books start to seem the same, same plot, same format, same same same. And Revenge Arc was so different from what I had been reading that it was a breath of fresh air, even as it proves once again, that Social Media is a mistake.

This book is incredible. First of all, I love the format. I'd almost give it 5 stars just for that. The story is gripping and full of twists, with well-written and interesting characters. A superb read.

I could extol this book's careful crafting of internet lore and an intricate story made around a non-existent fan base, it's twisted, off-screen concept, or the messages of women in horror/true crime ethics. What shines the most in this book is the love of the genre it is emulating, internet horror myths, and the epistolary style in general. With my own epistolary style internet horror story, I can't help but feel both awe (and a bit of envy) at how beautifully this style was depicted. The beautiful graphics aren't what sold it though; you could have gorgeous graphics with inauthentic execution. Although everything was in the book to further plot, you really got the impression that you were intruding upon real conversations, stumbling upon message boards or fanfictions, and digging through people's text messages. It's such an authentically different reading experience that I am frankly in awe of the execution.

Bravo, Cat. What a marvelous book.

(Talk to me about your internet horror love always, by the way, I love Nexpo/ReignBot/everything you probably researched for this.)

What a book! I love an epistolary novel but all the mixed-media involving reddit, discord, news articles, hand-written letters was so incredibly creative.

I’ve seen work similar to this, but never have I seen it with such a gripping story. It was easy to follow and I think it really put you inside the story, especially if you are familiar with the deep web lingo and creepypastas.

This book will be a hit for horror lovers everywhere. I wanted to immediately find the ‘Red’ comic and read it.
