A recent book claiming to detail events surrounding the shooting of Charlie Kirk before it occurred has stirred up surprise and bewilderment online. The 69-page Kindle publication, named ‘The Shooting of Charlie Kirk: A Comprehensive Account of the Utah Valley University Attack, the Aftermath, and America’s Response,’ was available for purchase on Amazon. The book description recounts a tragic incident on September 10, 2025, during a Utah Valley University event featuring Charlie Kirk that left a lasting impact.
The publication date of September 9, a day prior to the actual shooting, has sparked confusion and suspicion. Despite Amazon removing the book due to a ‘technical issue,’ the September 9 date remained visible online, leading to widespread questioning and conspiracy theories.
In response to the book’s appearance, numerous comments and reviews have surfaced expressing shock and disbelief. Reviewers like Denise and Hope highlighted the perplexing nature of the book’s pre-shooting publication date, fueling speculations about how the author, identified as Anastasia J. Casey, could have foreseen the tragic event.
Social media platforms, including a now-deleted tweet by @EscanorReloaded, also picked up on the controversy, sharing screenshots of the book’s early publication date. The user suggested that Amazon allows for backdating book releases without requiring proof during the setup process, raising further doubts about the timeline of events.
Amazon has addressed the situation, attributing the misleading publication date to “technical issues.” The company clarified that the book was officially published in the afternoon of September 10th, apologizing for any confusion caused by the erroneous date display.
