THE CASE FILE

A couple travels overseas to their ancestral home, expecting to take a break from everyday life to reconnect with family. What begins as a restful change of scenery soon becomes increasingly uncomfortable as the people around them seem eerily silent about the family's past and the house itself.

With their relationship already facing its share of complications, an unexpected turn of events leaves them questioning everything they knew about themselves and each other. Tensions begin to rise and something else seems to take an interest in their lives, offering a strange sense of reassurance.

However, some things are better left uninvited.

THE SPECIMEN

Each mystery book arrives wrapped in craft paper, secured with a ribbon, and accompanied by its very own identifying toe tag.

Your specimen includes:

• One mystery horror book, wrapped and ready to be ripped apart

• One set of annotation tabs to mark all the moments worth screaming about

• One MUJI 0.5mm Knock Type Gel Pen

• One complimentary sticker (not including the cute ghost keeping it together)

• One Thin Veil Bookstore branded book review bookmark

CAUSE OF DEATH: UNKNOWN

Every specimen is released at a discounted price, just waiting to be claimed.

The paperwork is complete. The specimen is identified (well, almost). All that's left is for you to claim your new horror obsession and uncover what lies beneath the wrapping.

All specimens are released into the care of their new owners at their own risk.

CASE STATUS: AWAITING COLLECTION.
