Background[]

Trivia[]
- Maggie Holt is a character from Wildbow's later web serial; Pact. Many of the details line up with the story, although Maggie was a side character rather than the main protagonist.
- The web serial Pact references Weaver Dice which is a popular game there, implying that the Parahumans universe is as equally fictional in the Pact universe as Maggie Holt is in Parahumans.

A novel of the sort that was aimed at young adolescents. It was one I’d read a long time ago, but had largely forgotten. I remembered more of the movie of the same name.
Examining it, I found the circle of the ‘o’ in word ‘Holt’ on the spine had been colored in black. The book opened and closed, with nothing shaking out of it.
I pried at it, got my fingernails under it, and pulled it out. It was the eye camera that Kenzie had placed in Ashley’s eye. It had phased into the book, the extra bits almost invisible, they were so phased out.
