Blind Date with a Book #014

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: Cosmic, Science Fiction, Psychological
Format: Paperback
Representation: Female protagonist
Atmosphere: Mind-bending, unsettling, bleak, existential
Setting: Pennsylvania, U.S.A. in the '90s, and alternate futures
Additional clues: Missing persons, fractured timelines, trauma, and apocalyptic dread

THE CASE FILE

Some missing posters are better left unseen. Unfortunately, curiosity and a little professional obligation have a way of getting in the way.

What begins as an investigation into a disturbing series of events soon becomes something far more complicated. The deeper one woman digs (and the further she travels), the less things seem to make sense. 

As reality becomes increasingly difficult to trust, she begins to realize that what she's uncovering might be a little bigger than your average missing persons case.

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.
