Penpal
"Penpal began as a series of short and interconnected stories posted on an online horror forum. Before long, it was adapted into illustrations, audio recordings, and short films; and that was before it was revised and expanded into a novel. How much do you remember about your childhood? In Penpal, a man investigates the seemingly unrelated bizarre, tragic, and horrific occurrences of his childhood in an attempt to finally understand them. Beginning with only fragments of his earliest years, you'll follow the narrator as he discovers that these strange and horrible events are actually part of a single terrifying story that has shaped the entirety of his life and the lives of those around him"--Amazon.com.

Ratings and reviews
Dear Dathan Auerbach, I know you published this in 2012.. but.. you broke my heart with this book and you have a new fan. Seriously though.. i understand why people didn’t like this book. I get it.. the whole stalker thing or something else entirely. Like I always say.. ⚠️check your triggers.. ⚠️ I loved this book. The creative way the author wrote this, with an entire story being told by the fictional character in a memoir I think it was. The ups and downs of childhood and being poor and somewhat of an outcast. Finding that “ one friend”. An innocent school project that will haunt/effect the main character for the rest of his life. The unforeseen mystery. The creepy vibes. The heartbreak. The Guilt. The Trauma and lasting effects. From the happy beginnings to the sad tragic end.. I felt this was written wonderfully. It kept me on the edge of my seat.
