A 2025 Eyelands Book Awards Finalist. This collection of interconnected tales weaves a web of supernatural suspense that keeps you intrigued and engaged from start to finish.

At the center of it all lies a mysterious book that serves as a dark portal between worlds. For Anna, a lonely woman seeking romance, this book bridges the gap to an enigmatic character who uses his magnetic charm to pull himself into her reality. But as her ultimate fantasy comes to life, Anna soon discovers that dreams made flesh can take shapes she never expected. Caught in an unpredictable and intense new reality, she will finally find—in the very pages that awakened the danger—a path to salvation and retribution.
Meanwhile, a mediocre ventriloquist desperate for fame is lured by a monstrous idol—another inhabitant of the obscure book—to a dusty New Orleans apothecary. There, he strikes a horrific bargain with a ruthless sorcerer—a man so obsessed with absolute power that he cruelly transforms men into eerie servants stripped of all will.

Driven by consuming desires for glory, power, and revenge, the characters of these uncanny stories traverse a shifting landscape of dark magic and psychological terror where fantasy slowly overtakes reality. By the end, you will doubt if you are merely the reader—or another character trapped within its pages.
