GET RICH, CRY TRYING
by Vaultkeeper
About the book
A broke livestreamer discovers that viewers will pay him to cross almost any boundary. At first, humiliation is just content and attention feels like opportunity. Every donation makes the next compromise a little easier. But as the money grows, so does the audience's sense of ownership. His private life becomes entertainment, his relationships become material, and the line between the person and the performer begins to disappear. Then one devoted viewer decides watching isn't enough. GET RICH, CRY TRYING is a dark psychological and social thriller about parasocial obsession, internet fame, ambition, and what happens when an audience stops seeing the person behind the screen.

About the author
Vaultkeeper writes fiction about the things we build our lives around — identity, certainty, meaning, ambition, faith, power and love — and what happens when they stop being true. Blending psychological fiction, cosmic horror, hard science and existential philosophy, his work puts ordinary people into situations that force them to confront uncomfortable truths about themselves and the world around them. His stories treat humanity as fragile rather than inevitable. There are no heroes here, only people trying to understand what is happening before there is nothing left to understand.
