Every year, on her birthday, Laura gets a letter from a stranger. That stranger claims to know the whereabouts of her missing friend Bobby, but there's a catch: He'll only tell her what he knows in exchange for something...personal.
So begins Laura's sordid relationship with her new pen pal, built on a foundation of quid pro quo. Her quest for closure will push her to bizarre acts of humiliation and harm, yet no matter how hard she tries, she cannot escape her correspondent's demands. The letters keep coming, and as time passes, they have a profound effect on Laura.
From the author of Cruel Works of Nature comes a dark and twisted tale about obsession, guilt, and how far a person will go to put her ghosts to bed.
Contains mature themes.

There are some important questions left unanswered, and I think many listeners will find the ending unsatisfying if you're here for the plot. I think the focus of the book was more the protagonist's psychological state as she grows up under the constant shadows of grief and guilt, and the way they evolve as she's being actively manipulated over the years. Viewed from that lens, I think the author does an excellent job.

does not leave the audience wanting more at the end. The trifecta for a good microfiction, really. Furthermore, the level of dread that the author created without explicitly detailing some of the more brutal aspects of the book (despite the subject matter) is impressive. It highlights the effects of stalking, grooming, and child predators in a very real, honest way- but without going all “Modern Hysteria” (which is a great Splatterpunk novel, but a walking trigger warning).
A sucker punch to the gut with an evil, scummy antagonist.

I kinda feel bad for Frank. The guy loves her and does all he can for her but unfortunately her heart belongs to Bobby. It seems the only reason she marries Frank is because he reminded her of Bobby. She wants to have her ashes spread where X buried Bobby not next to her son's father. And correct me if I'm wrong but I believe her son's name is Robert.
