Slender Man: The Awakening

by Mauro Neaus

When a detective gets a Missing Child's case it turns into something so much more that no mortal man should ever have to experience.

After a series of events that leads him to believe Slender Man is real, he begins to look into it himself, becoming fixated on the creature, and he too, being yet another in the frightening, yet embracing grip of Slender Man.

Children are going missing and day by day more and more madmen are surfacing claiming to have seen a spectral figure following them. A tall man in a dark suit lurking in the shadows. It is down to one detective to solve the case.

I'm fascinated by the Slenderman mythos. I bought this book looking forward to a nice little horror story about Slender. However, while there are some nice tie-ins to the mythos, like the $20, it generally felt underwhelming and under-utilised.

The story doesn't really go anywhere and is over way too quickly and I had trouble buying any of the characters. A good bit of the text was setting up to visit the forest, and I liked how the author explained the need to collect the pages, but it was over before it really began. I would have been happy to see story play out as a first person recount of the Slender game, but then it went back to the detective fumbling around unconvincingly for the majority of the book.

The story was readable, but I spent most of the time look forward to the upcoming fireworks factory that I was let down when it ended before we got there. This book had potential, but in the end it felt hollow and unfinished.

I think that anyone who doesn't have understanding of the Slenderman mythos beforehand will likely just be confused.

This was the most horrible Slender Man book ever. I am the one that likes scary stories, like Skeleton Creek and Creepypasta, but THIS was nowhere as scary as Skeleton Creek. The theme for this book was supposed to be a chiller, a cold shiver up the spine but NO!! It didn't even have that! No theme, in my opinion. This book was a complete waste of my time. I couldn't tell what was happening most of the time because of the characters names, use of language I wasn't able to understand. So the author could've fixed that and the grammar and punctuation errors. Plus, this story was kind of predictable and not scary or thrilling. So, I don't recommend this story to readers. It's not scary, it's hard to understand and it's... not interesting for the first 14 chapters. Considering I read this on Ebook so...

This COULD HAVE been a great story, with a fantastic plot, and an interesting antagonist. COULD HAVE. However, I am not going to lie here, the horrendous grammar and prose issues choose a tense and STICK. WITH. IT!!) made this next to unreadable. Add to that the weird quasi-ending, and I feel like I just wasted a couple hours of my life, that I am never getting back.

Slender Man might be Cthulu? Seriously? Lost me there, even with the weird rationalization...

In fact, most of this book lost me, just on typos alone. Bummed at the prospects of what this could have been. Sigh.

The detective is investigating a man's story about being chased into the black forest, taken off the case he has to investigate the cases of missing children where he finds they are linked because of their connection to the slender man. i was a little disappointed in this book and couldn't decide if it should be a three or four. I decided on a four because I think this story would make a great if lengthened out. I give a 4 star for the idea of the story and hope the author will try and make a more in depth story.

This book tells a lot of stories about case they saw hem where and when and the victims of who were never recovered or found in the would there where take and left no tracse this made this book incredibly scary and realistic i really love this horrifying book i think everyone should read it.

Not so much...

This was also another pure waste of time, thankfully short. It left tons of unanswered questions and just wasn't scary, unless, like me, bordom scares you, don't even bother.

A DNF book - What I've read of it was ok, but it didn't have me running back to finish up. Moved on to another book instead.

Not that good of a book. I wanted more of a scare.
