A family bookshop at the heart of a horror story

After her mother’s sudden death, Cordelia finds that books—once presented as a source of comfort—have become entangled with the nightmares troubling her family. The bookshop is both the setting of the threat and a place where secrets are hidden in the books themselves. As Cordelia confronts unseen forces and uncovers the circumstances surrounding her mother’s death, the story connects family grief, sacrifice, and the unsettling possibility of books as a channel between the living and the shadows.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For adult readers interested in horror involving books and bookshops.
  • For readers drawn to stories that combine family secrets with supernatural threats.
  • For readers interested in horror centered on a young protagonist confronting grief and sacrifice.

Book overview

Books can help make the nightmares go away. At least, that's what Cordelia was told after the sudden death of her mother. But when the books become sources of the nightmares themselves, Cordelia is left to suffer without any hope for a cure. While trying to fight the unseen forces which plague their family bookshop, she awakens secrets in the books themselves, forcing her to make sacrifices no child should have to make. Ultimately, Cordelia discovers what truly led her mother down the path to her own demise, as well as uncovering the secrets that lie deep within the bookshop, and the shadows that use books as means to communicate with the living.
