Scanlines was such an enjoyable read. This book really does shed light on the darkness of the human obsession with death. A ghost type story that leaves you questioning if the characters are actually crazy or if this is actually happening. Such a short read, there's no reason not to give scanlines a try. It's real, a real book about the real ways that people deal with trauma. 

Scanlines took me an hour to read.

Would recommend if you want something fast paced, short, very detailed and gruesome.

I loved this book and then I read the afterword and I loved it even more. worked well because it was a simple concept carried out in a wonderfully creepy way. touched on how easy it is to be traumatised by what you see online. possession as a metaphor
