“This work covers much of the Slender Man, his birth and subsequent life online. It also looks hard at how modern tales are written, and the similarity with how tales were told and evolved in our past. … it is a worthy coverage of just how the internet is being used by us to enable the numinous corners of our consciousness.” (Trevor Pyne, Magonia Review of Books, The Magonia Blog, pelicanist.blogspot.co.uk, April, 2017)
