"The plot of this book is astoundingly well-developed and planned. The element of suspense was present from start to finish, and I could not predict anything about the story until I finished it." - Onlinebookclub.org
With the surrealism and uncanniness of David Lynch, the spiraling madness of H.P. Lovecraft and Junji Ito, and the criminal rabbit holes of Thomas Harris, American Millennial is a guaranteed page-turner.
Nick Thompson is a YouTube star living in Burbank, California. His entire online persona is a carefully constructed lie, and it's finally catching up to him.
After discovering another influencer, Tyler Frank is grooming an underaged fan, Nick exposes this to a live audience. An unidentified man decides to go for Tyler's blood. But he also poses as Nick's faceless doppelganger. Calling himself 'AM' after one of Thompson's nicknames, he claims to be the real thing, and that Nick is only a fake.
AMERICAN MILLENNIAL is a surrealist dive into one's own identity, the perils of online fame, and themes inspired by the work of psychologist Carl Jung.
