I now own a book that doesn't exist.

My father works for a rental car agency and occasionally he comes across interesting items left in the cars upon return. When nobody shows up to claim them he brings them to me. Yesterday he gave me what appears to be a science fiction novel titled Kimoreah by one Alan Markson. The cover is completely black with no illustrations. There is no publisher logo and no bar code. This might make it self-published except there appears to be no place online where you can go to purchase this book. There is no mention of it anywhere. Searching for the title and author only brings up a Xanga site that has not been updated in two years. And did I mention that the book is shrink wrapped in plastic? All this leads me to think that this was not intended to fall into strangers' hands.

I left a comment on the Xanga site but that's really all I can do at this point. I could care less about reading this particular book but I'd really like to solve the mystery that surrounds it.

Wow, that's wild. Does sound like a self-publish/ARC, though.

I think so too but I am incapable of passing up such a tantalizing mystery.
