This is something I probably would have heard of earlier if I'd bothered to keep up with the SCP Foundation past 2011 or so. It was originally published online as part of the SCP Foundation "wiki" and was later rewritten, with SCP references expunged, for traditional publication in 2025. That is the version I read.
The first part of the book feels more like a connection of short stories than the first part of a novel. I'm wondering if that's because it really was a series of short stories put together. The second part of the novel does feel more like a traditional narrative, though that's probably because it's deep into the plot at that point.
This book was one that I didn't want to put down while reading. Even if isn’t technically set in the world of the SCP Foundation, it was a nice way to return to something I was a fan of as a teenager.
