The Triflers is a 2017 novel by Youtuber Mumkey Jones.
If you’re reading this, then I’m probably dead, and hopefully a lot of other people are too.
It follows the story of a club called The Triflers, a group of troubled high school kids who watch snuff films together. The book has three main POV characters, all of whom are members of The Triflers.
Firstly, a letter written by a teenage sociopath to her mother explaining the rise and downfall of the group, and how they began to play around with human experimentation.
Secondly, the diary of a football player who's suffering with the ups and downs of young love, an alcoholic father and depression.
And lastly, the manifesto of a school shooter, who plans on committing a massacre for the history books, Bloody Monday.
The Triflers includes examples of:
- Abusive Parents: Mason's father is an alcoholic and a gambling addict, who in the first chapter alone verbally abuses Lily and headbutts Mason in the mouth for trying to calmly tell him to stop. It is later revealed that he physically abuses Lily when Mason isn't around.
