(Seriously, how do you not know how to find somebody’s phone number?) Otherwise, it’s a creepy little novel from a rising talent who hopefully produces many more. ![]() Ordinarily, it shouldn’t matter in what specific year a story takes place, but cell phones and the Internet seems to float in and out of existence. The only problem I really had with the story was a sort of floating timeline. To be sure, this is the author’s first novel and there are some learning curve mistakes made in the narrative. And the last story, “Friends,” wraps up the cycle with a couple surprises and a revelation of what truly is the heart of the story. “Screens” is the point when the author lets some of his own influences show. “Maps” is the point when we are shown that the mystery might truly be something unknowable. “Boxes” takes the story out of being strictly psychological horror and into something more physically threatening. “Balloons” is the story that lays out the groundwork for what is to come. The first story, “Footsteps,” evokes the universal fear felt by every child at least once: the fear of being lost. Taken together, the stories come away like snapshots of one great horror, taken from different angles. The book is broken into six parts, each set in a different point in the narrator’s childhood.

Eventually, Dathan Auerbach (the author’s “civilian” name) began the process of revising those six little pieces, connecting and expanding them until he had his first novel, Penpal. It began in October 2011, when an anonymous poster on Reddit, going by the username 1000vultures, posted a creepy little short titled simply “Footsteps.” Over the following weeks, the fanbase for 1000vultures swelled as five more stories were posted.
