THE CASE FILE
There's something going on in this town. Not sure what, though. On the surface, it's just another place where everyone's going through the motions.
Spend enough time here and you'll start to notice that things aren't quite right. The townspeople are acting strangely and everything seems to be slipping into something otherworldly.
The deeper you get, the harder it becomes to separate what's real from what might be better left alone.
Maybe the kids ain't alright.
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.
