autisticwolfesbrainisautistic:shadowpup2017:quidditchfan:#this story is actually sad like#he said he didn’t go anywhere when he died#but his dad wrote the book and put the kid’s name on it cause the dad knew it’d sell a shit ton of books#”no shhh you went to heaven shhhh”#despite both the boy and his mother saying they DID NOT want the book published#it was published#and the boy saw NONE of the profit#it went straight to the dad#so the parents got divorced and he lives with his mom now#and despite asking and demanding and explaining multiple times that they didn’t want this book out there#and please take it off the market#it never stopped#so what did they do?#they did the only thing they thought would work#they said he went to hell instead so that the christians wouldn’t buy it so the monsters wouldn’t keep selling it#and it worked#it fucking#worked#they’re pulling the book from shelves#I know this post was meant to be funny but damn#knowing the whole story kinda#feels more important to me (tags: abananapepper)Can I have a link to the article?https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2015/01/15/boy-who-came-back-from-heaven-going-back-to-publisher/Here’s one I found.Sidenote: I find it hilariously ironic that this family’s surname is Malarkey—for those who don’t know, it’s a colloquialism that means fake, B.S., etc. -- source link
