THE CASE FILE

She's been warning them since she was a child that she didn't actually belong. She wasn't like them. Yet, no one's ever taken her seriously.

Now, a mysterious signal has been detected and humanity is beginning to realize that something is heading their way. Something that could bring them to their knees. While the rest of the world braces for an apocalypse, she's waiting excitedly for the visitors to arrive. She's been expecting them her entire life.

She told them they're coming. Someone really should've listened.

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.
