The Haunted Bookshop

by Christopher Morley

252 pages~4 hrs

In this shop, the most dangerous things aren't the ghosts, but the books themselves.

Step into the dusty, labyrinthine aisles of Parnassus at Home, where the scent of old paper masks a brewing conspiracy. When a rare volume vanishes and shadows begin to stir in the stacks, a simple Brooklyn bookseller finds himself at the heart of a dangerous mystery. It is a charming yet chilling love letter to the power of literature and the secrets hidden between the covers.
