General Note:
"The Ghost that Ate Us is a true crime style mockumentary that details the events leading up to a massacre at a fast food restaurant. Using the backdrop of Jonny, Iowa, a truck stop town in a flyer over state, Kraus explores the many ways forgotten Americans with little money and less prospects can hasten their own doom. At turns darkly absurd and tragically grim this story will have you Googling to make sure nothing like this ever really happened because it just might be crazy enough to be true."--Libro.com.
"The story inspired Facebook memes, Twitter hashtags, Buzzfeed listicles, Saturday Night Live sketches, and more. But the case was never much more than a punchline ... until bestselling writer Daniel Kraus (The Shape of Water, The Living Dead) decided to head to Iowa to dig up what really happened."-- Amazon.com.
