Purchase options and add-ons

One man’s search for the truth about one of the most intriguing urban legends ever—the modern bogeyman, Slender Man—leads him down a dark, dangerous path in this creepy supernatural fantasy that will make you question where the line between dark myth and terrifying reality begins.

Lauren Bailey has disappeared. As friends at her exclusive school speculate on what happened and the police search for answers, Matt Barker dreams of trees and a black sky . . . and something drawing closer.

Through fragments of journals, news stories, and online conversations, a figure begins to emerge—a tall, slender figure—and all divisions between fiction and delusion, between nightmare and reality, begin to fall.

Chilling, eerie, and addictively readable, Slender Man is a unique spine-tingling story and a brilliant and frightening look at one of the most fascinating—and diabolical—mythical figures in modern times.

This is a very good treatment of the Slenderman legend,… Although it takes place in an urban setting, which is a little bit different. Pretty creeptastick

Well done ... I liked the physical structure of the story; the variations made the reading more compelling. And no extra heroes introduced. It was all about Matt.

Unique and absolutely entrancing

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is by far one of the more unique horror books I've read, let alone a Slender Man book. It's essentially a story created from the complied journal entries of Matthew Barker, texting transcripts, emails, social media posts, police interviews, newspaper clippings, and recordings. These are all put together in a way that pulls the reader into the story and brings them on the journey of just how the Slender Man affects someone. I couldn't put it down.

It's a fast read and the atmosphere that is created when reading the book is absolutely amazing. It's not your typical horror book, but it is meant to unsettle you and make you look over your shoulder. It works flawlessly. The best Slender Man stories are the ones that don't focus on him, but rather on what is happening to the victims and what they're going through. This book is by far one of the best Slender Man stories out there. I highly recommend that you read it.

I don't recommend.

I don't recommend. It shouldn't be a Slenderman story. I can't figure out if the author is just complaining about this real life or created a character who doesn't have anything but complaining to say.

It was a really good read! I liked the different formats like texts and reddit posts. The only thing I didn't like was the ending! I could've gone on a little bit longer!

Tells a story

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2020

My daughter is obsessed with creepy pasta stuff so she loved this book. She is 9. She is a little more mature than most girls her age so I don't think this book would be recommended for young children by the few pieces my daughter told me about. She liked the book even though she is now into anime, she still enjoyed this.

For fans of Creepypastas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

Do you like reading Creepypastas? I do. If so, this book will probably appeal to you. I could best describe it by saying it's like reading a 335 page long Creepypasta about a teenage boy's encounters with Slender Man. The story is an epistolary novel which is told through a number of sources, ranging from the protagonist's journal entries to police interviews, Reddit threads and conversations on Whats App. And, to be fair on it, it uses this medium very well.

The book is an interesting experiment - a horror story told through modern media that is fully self aware. It is rooted in our world where the Slender Man Creepypasta is a thing and so, naturally, the protagonist soon finds that no one will believe that he has actually encountered the entity. Personally, this really did appeal to me. This concept alone was very entertaining and I certainly did not get bored reading it.

Yet the one thing that I felt the novel was lacking was the extended media. There are things that an online Creepypasta can do that this book cannot - especially as the novel made a lot of reference to sound files that we could never hear and photographs that we could not see. I was disappointed that even dropbox links provided within the pages did not work - possibly an oversight by the Anonymous author.

However, while the book makes for a decent Creepypasta, it's not a great novel. We see nothing in the story, with events only related back to the reader after the event and Slender Man used unsurprisingly infrequently. It takes over half of the novel for it to really feel as though the story is moving and much longer for anything significant to happen to the protagonist. The book is also very open ended, leaving the protagonist's fate unclear and failing to explain half of what happened.

I also found it difficult to connect with most of the characters. While Matt is at least likeable, we find out little about him despite being allowed inside his head. Yet, due to the way in which this story is structured, we find out even less about the other characters. The biggest disappointment of the story is how insignificant Lauren is in the great scheme of things. Matt barely communicates with her over the course of the novel and her disappearance holds the distinct aroma of the women in refrigerators trope - offering no development for her but only serving as a vessel to give motivation to Matt's actions.

As Matt is a rather self-centred protagonists, a lot of the other characters in the novel do not make much of an impression and I found myself flipping back and forward to remind myself who was who. Yet, at least, Slender Man was well presented. We find out nothing about him other than he exists. He is unknowable - the extent of his power is seemingly limitless and his motives are beyond our comprehension. Anything else would have been deeply unsatisfying.

Anyhow, Slender Man is a curious novel that may entertain fans of Creepypastas, but not really substantial or creepy enough to satisfy horror fans. I didn't hate it, but it's also unlikely to be a novel that I will read again.
