@anselmschueler Some of the books have a different publisher in the UK.

I’m all about not amplifying trolls BUT this was both harmless and funny—I picked up my phone and saw someone replying “MIND EATING WORM VICTIM” to my Haymarket post but before I could process whether they’d got the hyphen in the right place (!!) it ~blooped~ into the void because my server mods are *so fast* and it was a perfect piece of physical/kinetic comedy, thanks @trumpet crew!
