Two girls, Meryl and Katie, move into an apartment haunted by the ghost of an unknown author. In the process of getting settled in the new apartment Meryl discovers a hidden door to a little dark room. Full of curiosity, Meryl decides to explore the little room finding photos and a big heavy box that heeded the warning " Do Not Open 'Til Doomsday". Paying no attention to the warning, Meryl opens the box and discovers it is full of short stories from John Paul Rowan. Little does she know that opening this box and reading these stories not only opens her mind and heart to this unknown author but also becomes the most dangerous thing that she could've done to her and those around her.The way this book is written is genius. The fact that this is stories within a story is one of the most different concepts i have ever come crossed, but it works. Granted i dont know if many authors could pull this off but the collaboration between Craig Spector and John Skipp pulled this off with flying colors. Not only was the main story fun and twisted, each short story had a twisted beauty of its own. Though the times where a book like this would be accepted, appreciated, and cherished are dead, it would be awesome if just one more time they decided to put their heads together and come up with another twisted kick ass collaboration just like this one. Until then i will just pass on the word of how great and fun this book is as well as emerse myself in the other works that these two authors have to offer.
