"What a haunting, original, disturbing story. This reimagining of Jekyll and Hyde is tense and immersive, building on one of our greatest fears-that the monster is not some beast in the woods, but living next door, waving to us from their mailbox. I could not put this down."
-Richard Thomas, Shirley Jackson, Thriller, and Bram Stoker Award® finalist
"I flew through this fast-paced, action-packed commentary on society's inseparable integration with online spaces and the ominous anonymity that many seemingly normal people hide behind, allowing them to live a sadistic secret life. Full of twists, with plenty of visceral gory scenes throughout, this is just the quick, smart, and transgressive read so many are looking for."
-Emma E. Murray, author of Crushing Snails
"Timely, dark, and wholly committed to its pulp premise, Patrick Barb's Jekyll and Hyde tale of online words and real-life horror is a hideous reflection of ourselves when given the mask of anonymity. JK-LOL locks the reader in a chokehold, forcing them to stare into their own abyss."
-Carson Winter, author of The Psychographist
"JK-LOL is a terrifying, blood-splattered spin on Jekyll and Hyde, dragging that old story kicking and screaming out of the past, through a broken black mirror, and into our tumultuous, social media-saturated present. A story as timely as it is horrific."
-Austin Shirey, author of City of Spores
"We all know not to feed the trolls, but what happens when the trolls are exposed? JK-LOL dives into the horrifyingly reality of anonymous online behavior. Barb's written a grim, but poignant story about how words do matter and bear consequences."
-Michael Bettendorf, author Of TRVE CVLT
"Patrick Barb has proven that he knows how to deliver a gut punch of a story, and JK-LOL is absolutely that. This book is disturbing in all the right ways. I couldn't look away, and thanks to Barb's razor-sharp prose and relatable characters, I absolutely didn't want to."
-Steph Nelson, author of The Final Scene
"Told in an engaging format, and as crudely funny as it is horrifically sinister, JK-LOL is a thrilling ride from start to finish, one that will force you to question your understanding of online anonymity and the pervasiveness of Internet bigotry."
-Chloe Spencer, author of Mewing and Monstersona
"In JK-LOL, Barb crafts a searing analysis of the ever-increasing dangers associated with social media. Who are we really interacting with on the other side of the screen? And what happens when we invite them into our home? This is a story that hits hard; a cautionary tale that made me yearn for a simpler time."
-Caleb Stephens, award-winning author of The Girls in the Cabin
