Artists have many different ways of promoting their works of art but this author has done something really unique, so much so it’s making the Twitter-verse talk!
Writer Will Mclean’s debut novel ‘The Apparition Phase’ was released last month and an independent bookstore in London released 1,000 signed copies to members of their monthly book club. Guess what he did to make the read interesting while connecting people from different parts of the world?
He wrote a single word on the title page, with his signature on each of the 1,000 copies! Of course the word itself would have no meaning, however, it is part of a 1,000 word long story!
People on Twitter are now coming together to try and solve the 1,000 piece book-puzzle. We’d like to know the full story as well but too bad, Twitter detectives have only managed to gather about 100 words so far.

Some of the buyers have not received their books due to postal delays. We know it’s just a matter of time because the Twitter-verse is an expert in solving riddles through crow-sourcing, we’d like to believe.
The author of the book has been reading the tweets and occasionally clarifying any handwriting related confusion. Here are some of the words posted by readers!
So cool! We really want to know what the short story is all about! Also, that’s a really good strategy to connect readers around the world. Bravo!
