"It's so fulfilling being able to live out my natural role of prey animal" - the cat, probably

One of the puppets on the cover bears a striking resemblance to the last person to check the book out, now missing

Imagine being institutionalized as a result of your experience killing the unstoppable robot monster, and years later you're executing your escape plan when you turn a corner and the robot monster is right there, uncrushed, walking toward you. Definitely a cardiac health check.
