Some stories are better left untold. But they are demanding to be heard.
In a dusty, forgotten bookshop in Cairo, Salim Waraq sells books no one reads to customers who rarely come. His life is a quiet, crumbling routine-until the impossible appears on his shelves.
A philosopher's manuscript, written years after his death. An illiterate woman's cookbook, filled with recipes for ingredients that don't exist. A diary of love letters, dated for next month, in the customer's own handwriting.
These are not mere books. They are ghost-written by the past, the future, and lives never lived. And with every one that is sold, reality begins to fray. Customers walk out remembering crimes they never committed, families they never had, and deaths that are yet to come.
Salim is the unwilling guardian of a secret: his shop is a door to The Library of Unwritten Books, a supernatural archive of every story, secret, and sin that was never put to paper. Now, the spectral scribes who guard this library are opening its doors, and the terrifying power of these forgotten tales is bleeding into our world.
To stop the collapse of everything he knows, Salim must confront a horrifying truth: in a place where every unwritten word is a weapon, the most dangerous story of all might be his own.
The Library of Unwritten Books is a chilling descent into a world where every book is a locked door, and every page turned could be your last.
