With deeper details emerging in the Charlie Kirk assassination case, multiple social media users have shared screenshots of an Amazon listing for a book on Kirk’s assassination, claiming it appeared online a day before the tragedy.
The book, titled ‘The Shooting of Charlie Kirk: A Comprehensive Account of the Utah Valley University Attack, the Aftermath, and America’s Response’, was credited to an author named Anastasia J Casey, according to social media claims.
Screenshots circulating on X show the publication date as September 9, 2025. Kirk was fatally shot on September 10 at Utah Valley University, leading many online to allege that the book anticipated the event.
Several users described the discovery as “chilling" and “suspicious", with the development quickly fueling conspiracy theories about foreknowledge of the attack.
Meanwhile, the Amazon link to the book now leads to an error page, further intensifying speculation.
While social media continues to debate whether the book’s timing was accidental or deliberate, there is no verified evidence so far to suggest the book contained predictive details about the attack.
