Description

He battles with his conscience to get to the bottom of it and his journey is an incredible one to read. An avid supporter of horror art and illustration, Aron has made it his standard to hire illustrators for every book that he puts out under his brand AB Horror. Cause let’s face it, we, as humans, have the desire to hurt those who hurt us, regardless of the consequences.

We live in a world where anyone has access to you, to your children, and this piece of work reminds you of that. Some are fun and innocent, some are a bit more dangerous and a few are outright sinister and manipulative. Derek Pearson is a struggling graphic novelist whose younger brother took his own life after becoming ensnared in "The Dropout Challenge".Aron Beauregard presents a story about one of the great dangers our youth face on the internet, the destruction it leaves behind, and the evil behind it. And the most surprising thing I learned was that there are actually no laws that protect people to this kind of online abuse. I remember the Momo sensation and my own son had his run in with it as well, at least he was too young to fully understand the gravity of the situation and was simply scared of the images he found alone enough to tell me about it. Although, my favourite scene in the book is an all out Slasher scene that brought to mind Clive Bakers character Dr Decker, stalking a family through their house in the opening scenes of Nightbreed. And has Derek become more fixated with crafting the perfect conclusion for his masterpiece than getting justice for his family?

This was a good read and I enjoyed it but more over I enjoyed the fact it highlighted the online prey on children's vulnerabilities. I don't think of myself as squeamish, but there were a few moments while reading MODERN HYSTERIA when I felt faint and utterly disgusted. There wasn't really any mystery or tension, besides the over the top violence that quickly got boring. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. Modern Hysteria is an extreme horror, so definitely not for everyone and not my usual preferred subgenre.

Storywise this was a pretty good book it constantly kept my attention with new supruse and gory details. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

The fact that there ARE humans in this world that use the internet for *similar* types of messed up shit that happens in this book makes this a heavy read. Modern Hysteria is one of those books that just makes you angry every single page as you know it could be all too real, while also being pure fiction. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Take Oliver from Yellow or Henry from Sew Sorry or Vera in Son of the Sob and now Derek from Modern Hysteria. This, in turn, produces some horrible events, that then trigger even more horrible events, each in turn, more wretched and sadistic!

If you are a parent, dig deep into the dark recesses of your mind, as you watch your child happily engage on their internet connected device that you feel is so safe due to those “parental controls”; consider what you fear they may encounter the most and what influence that may have on your precious child. This book had me on the edge of my seat and it’s yet another great book that Aron Beauregard has created from that amazingly messed up head of his.

A story about a very scary and real issue on the Internet, it's such an amazing tool but it's also such a scary and dangerous one. Incredibly thoughtful, important but simultaneously wonderfully trashy and entertaining story about the influence that the internet has on humanity.
