Nightbooks

Nightbooks

Horror-buff Alex has always been kept at arm’s length by his peers, and late one night, he decides he’s through with not fitting in. To kick off his campaign for normalcy, he sneaks out of his apartment to burn his “nightbooks,” journals where he writes nightmarish short stories. On his way to the furnace, Alex is inexplicably drawn to another apartment, where he becomes magically imprisoned by the witch Natacha. Assured that escape is impossible and surviving is far from guaranteed, Alex buys time by reading to story-hungry Natacha from his nightbooks each evening.
