Lily's Library (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781968416188)

Caleb Marsh is freezing in a Chicago apartment, staring at a blank screen, a failure. Then the dreams start. A library with no ceiling. A stone floor. A girl named Lily reading aloud from a book he cannot touch. When Caleb wakes, the prose is etched into his mind, brilliant, sharp, and entirely not his own.

He publishes the stories. He takes the fame. The money rolls in, and the literary world hails his miraculous return. But the price of genius is steep. As the stories grow more intimate, Caleb recognizes a horrifying detail: the private, unspoken name of his childhood dog. Then a stranger's suicide note. Then his best friend's deepest trauma, written as a plot twist before it even happens. Lily isn't a muse; she is a predator, and she is using Caleb's hands to eat the world. To stop her, Caleb will have to make a choice: put down the pen and fade back into obscurity, or pay the ultimate price to close the book forever.
