Reflection on problems within the indie publishing community for editors and publishers
-horror inspired by authors experience regarding neg reviews or reviewer who troll/mean
-psychotic break of an unknown indie horror author leads to the kidnapping of a neg reviewer who trashed both him and his publishing company in all his reviews
-bystander effect and follow the leader effect on those around us and their decision making to react /be involved/ help/ignore etc. Based on friends, money, career, legal repercussions, pleasure, fear, selfish needs
-who is the bad guy and who’s actions are worse
