Lost book gets the Pinocchio treatment and turns real

As if those crazed Lost fans don’t have enough to ponder, the mystery deepens with Hyperion’s posthumous publishing of Oceanic Flight 815 casualty Gary Troup’s first novel last week.

Bad Twin, a tale about a set of twins — one bad, obviously — out to get Daddy’s bucks, was found in manuscript form by the Lost characters on the hit ABC program. Viggo-esque man-hunk Josh “Sawyer” Holloway is reading it on the show, according to a Guardian article, and is “anxious to finish it.”

To complicate matters even further, Amazon.com acknowledges the pseudo factor by noting that, “Bad Twin is a work of fiction and all names, characters and incidents are used fictitiously; the author himself is a fictional character.”

So it’s a fictional book written by a fictional dead person from a fictional television show?

We’re — wait for it — lost.
