This is not the book form of the horror movie, but something altogether different. Book uses "official police files, transcripts of recorded interviews, letters, & photos" to take the story further.

I didn't see the BLAIR WITCH PROJECT film, though I'd heard something vague about it. So when someone gave me this book, I thought, 'Well, that might prove mildly interesting.'
Well, Stern's book kept me up hours past my bedtime, and then I wasn't sure it that really was an owl hooting out in our orchard, . . . or maybe . . . Was it something else?

From back cover: In October of 1994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland, while shooting a documentary...
A year later their footage was found.
What actually happened to Heather Donahue, Michael Williams, and Joshua Leonard deep in the Maryland woods has become the stuff of legend. What they captured on film in their final days has transformed their sudden disappearance into one of America's most suggestive nightmares...
Now the complete story can be told.
In an exclusive arrangement with the filmmakers' families, noted journalist D. A. Stern and private investigator Buck Buchanan have unsealed the official police reports to compile the first fully detailed and illustrated investigative report on one of the most disturbing cases in Maryland history...

Good reader. Gives more insight than the movie. But I prefer the second movie more.
