The “Who Killed Amanda Palmer Book Killed Me” Contest Winner

By now you guys know that the Who Killed Amanda Palmer: A Collection of Photographic Evidence with stories by Neil Gaiman and photography by Kyle Cassidy, Beth Hommel and many others is out now, right? Just in case if you didn’t, you know now! If you did not pre-order the book you can now purchase it online from JSR Direct and at select book stores world wide. It’s a beautiful collection of art assembled by so many talented people, check it out.

To celebrate the book’s release, last month we announced a contest asking you to take a picture (or create a piece of art) that demonstrated how the Big Book of Who Killed Amanda Palmer killed you.

Exactly a year ago today, on September 16, 2008 the Who Killed Amanda Palmer CD was released and what better way to celebrate the 1 year anniversary than to give away an Amanda Palmer prize pack with a brand spanking new signed Who Killed Amanda Palmer DVD?!

So, on to the winner…




Congratulations to CourtneyFG, the winner of the signed WKAP DVD and AFP prize pack!

Below is Courtney’s winning photo and a short story she included with her submission:

The Asylum

The doctors called it delusional schizophrenia. She claimed to have killed Amanda palmer, not once, but numerous times at multiple locations by different methods. No one believed her, she didn’t believe her. She remembered it all like a dream, like something that never happened, all in her head. She had terrible trouble dealing with even the possibility of having killed someone. She had to be restrained in a padded cell, too keep her safe from herself and she was there for only two days before if happened.

The doctors called it a brain embolism, caused by stress. She never had a chance once that book passed the threshold. Someone thought it would help to show her that wasn’t real, what she remembered doing was just in a story book. She didn’t think so, she saw it as proof, she really had done it, then pop, she was gone.
