Atmosphere: Feverish, unsettling, provocative, supernatural

THE CASE FILE

A little curiosity, a questionable ritual, and suddenly things aren't quite what they used to be. What starts as harmless fun takes a rather unexpected turn when one teenager begins speaking another language, changing up her makeup routine, and locking lips with some seriously questionable people.

Her friends wonder whether something seriously demonic has taken hold, and someone who claims to have all the answers seems to be a little too interested in what's going on.

Maybe he's the weirdo, mister.

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.
