I found this captivating. It’s a story about a teenage male escort but told through the forum posts of men who are obssesed with him. The posts are not always as they seem, with different posters lying about who they are and what they have done with the escort. It’s dark and depressing, with themes of sexual violence, drug abuse, and online obsession.
