  "Only for the Academic Set...maybe" by mystryrdr (see profile) 11/21/13

A Satire/Horror of Academia, there is a lot of "theory" tossed around and not being "inside", it was hard to tell often where reality ended and the hyperbole began. For those inside that world, hard to say if it would be painfully accurate or satisfyingly malicious. The supernatural aspect was maybe unnecessarily overblown and the ending was WEIRD!!!!!!
