Book of Dreams
by Kevin Craig
Gaige's curiosity gets the better of him when he discovers a bookstore on an abandoned street.

It's bought and paid for, and there are no returns. The book leads Gaige on a horrific descent into the unknown. As he falls into the depths of its pages, he loses blocks of time, and his friends become trapped inside ancient cellars with seemingly no means of escape.
