*I received a free review copy in exchange for an honest review of this book. 

SURREALITY is a tantalizing and well-paced horror story about a documentary TV show which blurs the lines between hype and reality when the hosts get over their head in a homicidal urban legend. It’s immersive and excellently told, cultivating a nebulous feeling through meta-conversation about uncertainty between hype and reality. Short, bloody, and creepy, don’t miss SURREALITY.

Moderate CW for kidnapping, violence, injury detail, murder, death.

Minor CW for kidnapping, stalking, classism, domestic abuse, gun violence.
