"13 Shocking Secrets You'll Wish You Never Knew About Lemony Snicket" is a promotional pamphlet containing information about "The End", thirteen secrets about Lemony Snicket, and some new information on other books in his "A Series of Unfortunate Events". It was distributed through the HarperCollins AuthorTracker mailing list, and on the [http://www.lemonysnicket.com/shockingsecrets.cfm Lemony Snicket website] .

Plot summary

The thirteenth and final shocking secret can only be found by decoding a puzzle using circled letters from missing words in the pamphlet. These missing words can be found using information from the corresponding book in "A Series of Unfortunate Events". Placing all twelve letters together in order spells out the final secret: "He is finished".

The day after the pamphlet was published, HarperCollins issued a press release revealing that Lemony Snicket had finished writing "The End", the final book in the series. [http://sev.prnewswire.com/publishing-information-services/20060313/LAM01413032006-1.html]

The final secret is also echoed towards the end of the Dear Reader letter for "The End". [http://www.harpercollinschildrens.com/HarperChildrens/Kids/BookDetail.aspx?isbn13=9780064410168]
