"the entire family was murdered in cold blood by the father, shooting them as they lie helplessly in their beds. What are your thoughts on this?"
what. the fuck. thoughts. do you think?

It might just be for that author? This listing of Blood Music is much cheaper, though still way above what it should be.
Only if the hardcover in question is like: Lord of the Rings or Dune, signed by their respective authors. For this kind of pulp fiction, it’s taking the piss in a big way unless they’ve gone hog wild with like an embossed leather binding with metal fixtures or something equally extravagant.
This is from a TikTok profile named SuspiciousKindness, and it absolutely does not fail to deliver on exactly that. This is the perfect thread for this, because I am 110% certain "WTF?" is precisely what was going through this young man's mind. If nothing else, along with the cash, he's giving people absurd stories to tell.

If anyone remembers me mentioning how squeamish I am around blood, guts, body horror, etc., you can imagine my 1,000 yard stare after witnessing the aftermath of a motorcycle accident that happened last night two houses down the street from me.
We were sitting on our patio enjoying a cocktail and watching Sports Center when we heard the screeching of brakes followed by an impact followed by about four seconds of a scraping sound. We and several neighbors walked down our street to see a silver SVU with its rear bumper torn away, and about 30 yards away, a man under his motorcycle screaming in agony. I saw the blood and I froze; fortunately several of our neighbors aren't complete cowards and ran to the man to drag the bike off of him. Another neighbor had already called 911, and they were there in a few minutes. Once the paramedics and cops got the situation under control, everyone started walking back home, and one of my neighbors who'd tried to move the bike told me the rider's right side was "crushed," and that he saw he'd lost his right hand. I about passed out hearing this.
I assumed from the audio cues that the biker was probably speeding (we hear it all the time in this area, bikes getting up to highly illegal speeds,) but no. The SUV was being driven by an elderly couple, and get this, the woman driving was DRUNK. WTF, man?!? The poor kid on the bike is only 20 years old, and he's probably going to suffer impairment for the rest of his life; he lost his fucking hand! I really hope this old couple gets the proper books thrown at them; ruining a young person's life at the end of your own is the kind of selfish carelessness and irresponsibility that cannot go unpunished.

Oh yeah, been there, done that; can relate. I used to live on a country road right down from our high school; hilly, no margin, maybe one and a half lanes, basically a half mile of blind spot in either direction. So naturally, April and May were "country boy" Darwin award competitions when the high schoolers would tear ass down that road in vehicles they had no business driving in the first place, getting into head-on and sideswipe collisions with jaw-dropping regularity. There was a wreck in front of our house once a week on average; a truly nasty one about once a year.
My personal fave was when Dipshit A was hill-hopping in his aftermarket customized ricer (Fast and the Furious hadn't come out yet, this kid was just ahead of the curve), and met Dipshit B in his lift kit 40" tire compensator pickup head on. Dipshit A had his head and arm out his window, Dipshit B went over the ricer, crushed the hood and roof, caught some (admittedly sick) air, and rolled over while Dipshit A's car got body slammed into the pavement.
Dipshit A was somehow still conscious after this, Dipshit B got knocked out cold because he didn't have his seat belt on and slammed his head against the roof and steering wheel. Dipshit A came running up to our doorstep, every bone in his left arm broken and his ulna sticking out of his wrist, with a broken nose and literal tire marks on his face. We already had 911 on the line.
First responder gets there, and naturally he's fresh out of (the same) high school, so we all know (or at least know of) each other -- small rural Indiana high school. It's one of his first calls, so he takes one look at Dipshit A and runs off to the weeds to dispose everything he's eaten in the last twelve hours. My mom, who used to be an EMT, goes to take care of him, give him a bit of a pep talk, and distract him taking care of Dipshit B while I deal with Dipshit A.
Naturally, Dipshit A's in shock and doesn't fully understand his left arm's the next best thing to ground beef, and doesn't want to do anything but see how bad the damage is to his shitty little ricer. So I'm stuck there, half-wrestling this kid into a proper lying position telling him "I checked out your car dude, it's just a little roof and hood damage, don't worry about it" (spoiler alert, it wasn't) and trying to keep him calm/distracted/alert/aware until EMS arrives.
It's at that point Dipshit B comes to, and he's clearly concussed AF...but not so concussed he doesn't understand his truck just got totaled, and wants to have a "conversation" with Dipshit A about the wreck. Dipshit B was on the football team, and I was having to start considering what I'd have to do to take on a heavily-concussed varsity high school football player if he seriously wanted a go at Dipshit A. Luckily I didn't have to, because that's the point the cops, VFD, and actual EMS showed up.
What they saw when they got there was an 18-year old first responder puking his guts out on the side of the road, with one concussed 17-year-old stumbling around our front yard screaming and spoiling for a fight, a 46-year-old woman trying to talk him down, one 17-year-old with a mangled arm and bloody tire-marked face, and 15-year-old me talking to that kid about FFA shit. The only one not covered in blood at this point is the first responder, and he'd somehow puked all over his shirt and pants. Not to mention the twisted wreckage of a ricer in our yard, and a flipped-over pickup in the corn field across the road.
Good times. Still not as bad as when a kid the year below me got disemboweled by his own car's steering column and had to be cut out with the jaws of life. To this day I have no idea how he survived that.
