It's okay. The setup is interesting and the form is like a horror-themed Pale Fire but it lacks any long term engagement. A lot of it comes off as edgy for no reason and by the time you get to the 'WOAH UPSIDE DOWN TEXT XD' you'll already have gotten lost or bored.

It's pretty good. The narrative is split between the narrator (Truant) and the Navidson Record, with the latter being the more interesting narrative, by far. The ergodic text was a neat gimmick that I haven't seen in many other works.

Just read it.

The beginning story with finding the book and it being based of a non existent movie is great.

But the 'Documentary' style departures bored me, then the overall narrative kept me interested.

I might pick it up again one day.

I felt the exact opposite, the main character was boring as hell. I liked it at first but then it got weird and irrelevant. The Navidson Record always kept me interested though, some part of it were actually super creative.
