Bookroo's summary

In a world where some books are too evil to destroy, a Librarian faces a perilous task. Attempting to bury a cursed volume, he finds himself trapped in a mysterious tower. As he navigates its dark secrets, he must confront the legendary dangers within. Will he escape, or become another victim of the tower's sinister history? This special edition includes a prologue, epilogue, and more to deepen the mystery.

From the publisher

Some books are too evil to be ignored. They cannot be thrown away or burned. They must be buried deep in the earth. So when the Librarian tries to dispose of one vile volume, he risks being buried alive in an eerie tower. A special 10th Anniversary edition expands the story with a never-before-published prologue and epilogue, and a glossary, writing prompts, and discussion questions to support the reader.
