I should have read this slower, the book is fine. SCP lit in long form, done well. All creatures that cause you to forget them, or other things. It starts as short stories, and then the links start appearing.
Uses some Memento backwards story telling to keep the audience in the right mind frame. Too bleak for me by the end.
Got me hooked from the very first page.
