Anastasia J. Casey is a mysterious figure attributed as the author of a book titled "The Shooting of Charlie Kirk: A Comprehensive Account of the Utah Valley University Attack, the Aftermath, and America's Response," which appeared briefly on Amazon. The book was controversially listed with a publication date of September 9, 2025, one day before the actual shooting of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025. This timing sparked conspiracy theories and questions about the author's identity, with many suspecting the book to be AI-generated and the author possibly not a real person. Amazon later removed the book and clarified that the early publication date was due to a technical error, and that the book was actually published late on the day of the shooting, September 10. There is no known writing history or public background for Anastasia J. Casey, leading to much speculation that the name may be a fictitious or pseudonymous identity used for this self-published work. In summary, Anastasia J. Casey is essentially known as the credited author of a suddenly appearing and quickly withdrawn book on a recent tragic event, with no verifiable identity or biography beyond the controversy linked to the book's listing and timing.
