Jeff Vandermeer made up a fake freshwater squid in a book and people believed it really existed and now he feels bad
@moviewitch i just got around to reading and, thank you so, so much for sharing this
@moviewitch from the freaking BBC. also @ all the people who called him to say that they’d spotted the freshwater squid nearby... what did they ACTUALLY see????
@saladeredux that guy who's like "i know my eyes did not deceive me" what is going on there!!!
@moviewitch see this guy acts all innocent and incredulous but then he does shit like this. i love it
@saladeredux we longtime fans of his work know that Jeff is a rascal
