Hey guys, hope that this is the proper forum.
I am looking for a book that I read once before, but for the death of me, I cannot remember the name! Here's what I remember about it:
I *think* the title might allude to 'text horror stories', aka horror stories that take place via text messages, though I'm not 100% sure.
The book is a collection of short horror stories, mainly aimed at adults.
There is a specific story within the book that I remember vividly:
The story is basically told via text messages between two people. One of the individuals realizes that someone has broken into their home and runs upstairs to hide. The other individual texts back to make sure they're ok. The reply is that they're hiding under the bed, and that they think they hear someone coming. The kicker? Instead of waiting for the endangered person to respond, the other idiot texts back constantly to make sure that they're ok, things like 'Are you there??' "Hello??!?" and does not receive an answer. It is at the end of the story that the person realizes that, due to his constant stream of texts, he may have just lead the intruder to his friend's hiding spot.
Hopefully these hints are enough to formulate SOME idea of what I'm speaking of!
Thanks to whomever is willing to take a stab!
