ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Penpal by Dathan Auerbach is a chilling psychological thriller told through a series of interconnected short stories. The novel follows the unnamed narrator as he pieces together fragmented memories of his childhood, uncovering a series of disturbing events that have haunted him into adulthood. The story begins with a seemingly innocent game of releasing balloons with messages, but soon takes a dark turn as the narrator receives a series of unsettling photographs. As he delves deeper into his past, he confronts the fragility of memory, the power of suggestion, and the possibility that a sinister force has been watching him all along. The novel explores themes of childhood trauma, isolation, and the dark secrets that can lurk beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary lives. The narrative structure, with its shifting timelines and unreliable narrator, keeps the reader guessing, creating a constant sense of dread and anticipation.
