Blind Date with a Book #009

An unidentified literary specimen has arrived at the morgue. Are you brave enough to claim it?

Please note: the ribbon and annotation tab colours, sticker design, and toe tag details vary depending on the book. Each are chosen to provide additional hints as to the identity of the book, and may look a little different from the picture shown!

THE VICTIM'S PROFILE:

Genre: Religious, Psychological, Dystopian
Format: Hardcover
Representation: Woman-centered story
Atmosphere: Oppressive, bleak, claustrophobic
Setting: A dystopian future
Additional clues: Questionable hierarchies, blind faith, and safety that comes at a terrible price

THE CASE FILE

The world that has a way of making people desperate for a little safety. When everything they've built has fallen away, having rules to follow and people to belong to can feel like a blessing. If obedience is the price of admission, one woman is willing to pay it.

But safety has its price. Sometimes the things we accept in order to feel safe are the things we should be questioning.

When something unexpected begins to shake the foundations of an otherwise carefully structured existence, she's left wondering just how much she's sacrificed and whether there's anything left of the person she used to be.

How much can she lose before there's nothing left to save?

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.
