The Open Book Universe

In The Open Book, award-winning screenwriter and novelist L. Marie Wood told the world about a ravenous magical book. The Tales of Time looks perfectly innocent, maybe a little old-fashioned, but nothing to be afraid of. But anoyone who opens its cover finds a bespoke tale of unspeakable horror created just for them. A tale that will devour them alive…mind, body, and soul.
