So me and my friends have this bad book club where we find a book that seems insane and we read it. Our latest subject was Miranda Leek's "Twisted", an absolutely bonkers ride about living roller coasters and the alternate dimension they inhabit. We had a GREAT time reading it, only for something to blast us in the face as we scrolled down to the last page of the PDF we use: "Also Be On The Lookout For Book 2 In The Twisted Series: VERTIGO".
We all lost it. As far as we'd known this book was a one-off, so figuring out it had a sequel was jaw dropping information. However, this sequel wasn't published anywhere, and due to Twisted already being so obscure, there's barely information on it. An article on the book in The Daily News Journal mentions that Vertigo was almost finished in early 2015 and that work on an unnamed third book was begun (https://www.dnj.com/story/life/2015/01/23/local-artist-pens-book-twisted/22238715/), but there's even less on this third book than there is Vertigo.
However, in the Something Awful forum where Twisted was discussed most heavily, one user named Iced Cocoa went through Miranda Leek's deviantart and combed through the descriptions of her latest pieces related to the series in order to piece together a three-part summary of what Vertigo likely would've been like, along with very brief mentions of what might've been of Book 3.

I had a BLAST reading the first book in this series and knowing that there were at least two other books never published makes me ache in my soul. I would do ANYTHING for a copy of Vertigo, no matter how rough it is.
