==Description==
Did you miss him? Admit it, you missed him.
The demon that terrorized Gravity Falls is back from the great beyond to finally tell his side of the story in The Book of Bill, written by none other than Bill Cipher himself.
Inside, Bill sheds light on his bizarre origins, his sinister effects on human history, the Pines family's most embarrassing secrets, and the key to overthrowing the world (laid out in a handy step-by-step guide). This chaotic and beautifully illustrated tome contains baffling riddles, uncrackable ciphers, lost Journal 3 pages, ways to cheat death, the meaning of life, and a whole chapter on Silly Straws. But most importantly, The Book of Bill is deeply, deeply cursed.The Book of Bill by Alex Hirsch

=== Reviews ===
"I thought I liked things that were weird, but I was wrong. This book was too weird for me. I feel nauseous just thinking about the horrifying psychosis contained within. I'm legally changing my name to ‘Normal Al' now and pushing all my Hawaiian shirts out to sea on a barge. Avoid this book at all costs!!" —"Weird Al" Yankovic
"I found this arcane volume in a musty aisle at the most accursed of libraries. Nightly visitations by foul spirits commenced almost immediately. It has infected my mind and my dreams, and it will destroy your sanity. For all that is good and holy—stay away from it, and whatever you do, do not read it." —Guillermo del Toro
"Look, I hate to disagree with Guillermo and Normal Al, but I love this thing! Ever since I read it, I keep hearing this screaming in my brain that won't stop! I'm buying a copy for everyone I know! We love Bill! We love Bill! We love Bill!" —Charlie Day
== Synopsis ==
The Book of Bill is a book within the Gravity Falls universe, written in the first person perspective of the main antagonist, Bill Cipher. The book delves into Bill's origin story, his numerous attempts to conquer Earth, his complex relationship with the Pines family, and his very bad guidance towards many topics like love and humans. It's filled with bizarre revelations about the universe, cryptic codes, and various facts about the characters of Gravity Falls.
The narrative is a mix of autobiography, exposition, and manipulation as Bill attempts to control the reader. The book ultimately serves as a final, desperate plea for help from Bill, which is ultimately denied.
