Writer Gabriel Smith pranked the public by faking an email from singer Charli XCX asking to use the title of his forthcoming debut novel for her next album, garnering millions of views and likes.

Other authors, such as Jennifer Belle and Susan Meachen, have also pulled attention-grabbing publicity stunts, with some having darker implications.
