The Slender Man: A Young-Adult Horror Novel Kindle Edition

by Dexter Morgenstern (Author), Anna Stockbring (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 187 ratings
*New edition published August 2017*

In Murphy, North Carolina, a tragic accident occurs claiming the lives of several elementary school children. Alyssa’s brother Adam is the only child spared, and what seems like a tragic ending is merely invitation to an ancient horror as the town’s remaining children begin disappearing. Alyssa realizes that she and her brother are among those suffering from a mysterious ailment and haunted by sinister apparitions. Alyssa sees a sometimes amorphous, sometimes man-like shadow. Her peers see their deceased loved ones, and then disappear. As each day passes, more children are taken, and Alyssa knows that the ominous figure is responsible. Now if Alyssa wants to save herself and her brother from becoming the next victims, she has to figure out what it is and how to fight it, before it’s too late.

About the Author

Dexter is a writer and game-enthusiast from North Carolina. He was homeschooled by his parents after being diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. Being a creative, highly-motivated individual, Dexter officially began writing books at the age of fifteen, and published his first novel “Felix Faust,” at seventeen. When he is not writing, Dexter spends much of his time gaming, studying, or contemplating new plot details and stories in his head. Dexter’s ultimate goal is to get a degree in Robotics and contribute to the subjugation of humanity by artificial intelligence.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in North Carolina and raised as a homeschooled army brat, Dexter’s early life spanned continents, from South Korea to Colorado. Along the way, he learned to channel his neurodivergence into discipline and creativity, finding focus through writing, music, and martial arts.

He published his first novel at seventeen, and by the time he graduated with a dual degree in Marketing and Business Administration, he had several more under his belt. His stories are often dark, morally complex, and mythically charged—reflect a lifelong fascination with myth, faith, and the gray space between good and evil.

Outside of writing, Dexter is an accomplished Muay Thai fighter, kickboxer, and national titleholder, as well as a coach. He’s performed across the Pacific Northwest both onstage and in the ring, and he’s just as comfortable behind a bass guitar as he is throwing elbows under pressure.

When he's not writing, he's slapping bass. When he's not doing that, he's in the ring slapping face.

His ultimate goal? Crippling civilization beneath the boots of sentient robots—one creative project at a time.

    My 11-year-old daughter loves anything to do with Slenderman, so I bought this for her 11th birthday. She was delighted and finished the book within days. She said the story related well to the Slenderman mythos, although there were some details that were absent or different--hence the 4 stars, rather than 5.

    This book was outstanding. Well written, well executed, well...everything! The facts and description of the slender Man were a bit off from popular descriptions but that was all I saw off about it. If you are skeptical about buying and reading on kindle fires and other devices then this is a perfect start. I've been rambling on for far to long now, but overall, a perfect horror novel that was decently long. Very well done.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Manque de maturité
    Reviewed in France on 28 May 2015

    Roman acheté un peu ( beaucoup ) au hasard pour changer des auteurs connus.

    On y retrouve tout les travers des jeunes écrivains et bien plus. Premièrement, l'histoire est racontée à la première personne. On a donc les limitations de point de vue qui vont avec et l'égocentrisme en point d'orgue. Je n'aime pas du tout. Je sais que c'est à la mode chez la plupart des gens qui se lancent dans l'écriture mais ça donne souvent un récit pour adolescent de mauvaise qualité.
    Ensuite les personnages sonnent TOUS creux ! Que dire des parents qui n'ont pas l'air réels ? Le père m'a parfois donné envie de le baffer.
    Je passerais sur les descriptions inutiles tandis que d'autres sont manquantes ( franchement la description d'une page sur l'ordinateur de la nana n'a pas lieu d'être ).

    Au final, il y a une idée, il y a un développement MAIS c'est foireux de bout en bout. Dommage, avec plus de travail ça aurait pu être un bon livre.
