> Overall, I think the author relies too much on a vocal fandom around the SCP Foundation to glorify the book.

The author has self-published several other short stories and novels completely unrelated to the SCP wiki long before this was released (either in SCP or this book form).

From a literary point of view, maybe so (and probably even more so for his older works), but I guess I'm just that bothered by things like that, and/or the ideas presented more than make up for it for me.

"Ra" is one of my all-time favorite books.
