I'm a huge fan of the dark and twisty books, so from the moment I read the blurb for Mister Tender's Girl and learned it was inspired by the Slenderman case, I knew I had to read it. I was concerned that it would read too much like the Slenderman case, and be a fictionalized version of the exact same thing, but I was (thankfully) very wrong. Wilson himself said he read very little about the Slenderman case so as not to duplicate it, and I believe he succeeded very well in that. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, even if there were a few bits I predicted correctly. Guessing what was coming did nothing to make this book any less disturbing, and I applaud Carter Wilson for that. If you're looking for a book that will get under your skin and utterly unsettle you, I highly recommend this one.
