The Open Book

One decision. A woman hurrying through an airport picks up some stranger’s fallen book instead of kicking it under a chair.

And the feeding frenzy begins.

The strangely beautiful little volume passes relentlessly from hand to hand as if by magic, from a flight attendant to a barrista to a teen-ager’s mom to a sassy retiree and on and on and on. Anyone who peers inside finds themselves entranced by a story of unearthly horrors—a story that seems meant for them alone. The last story they will ever read.
Award-winning screenwriter and novelist L. Marie Wood has constructed an exquisite kaleidoscope of terror and a portal to a dark and ravenous new world.

The Open Book is best enjoyed with its companion volume The Tales of Time, available now.
