As soon as I saw “Come Knocking”, I immediately requested a copy, as I really enjoyed “Fantasticland” by Mike Bockoven. This story was told in the same way, in a pseudo-interview style with questions omitted. I am a huge fan of this form of storytelling, as it provides the perspectives of a multitude of characters without compromising the integrity of the story or excessively muddling the narrative. It is enjoyable to attempt to put together the pieces of the events before the ultimate reveal, and “Come Knocking” absolutely gave me that experience. Concluding with secondhand testimony from someone who could be considered a mastermind or antagonist was a great touch that gives perspective. I think the inclusion of the internet element, and how different people can come together for a singular purpose, nefarious or otherwise, was a chilling reminder of information accessibility and how relative anonymity can empower people to be despicable. An excellent read.
