"Milo was standing back at the Sienna. He'd fetched his turtle, Morty, from his tank in the backseat."
Oh no.
I think I probably should just accept that I don't particularly vibe with Cutter's style.
I really liked the idea behind this one but the execution just fell kinda flat for me. The whole thing with the video characters becoming more and more unhinged would have worked better if there had been only one of them or if we hadn't known pretty much all along that the wife was part of the problem. Never really managed to get invested in any of the characters either, except maybe the poor turtle.
