There's a place beyond this world where spirits tell their tales. It's a place for unexplainable things: puzzles without solutions. Ghosts. Boogeymen. They all have a story.
Enter the Library.
Marcus and his friends have found the key to open it--the Paradox Key. And they need to use it, because, clearly, something is up. A strange guy in a bathrobe haunts them; fires rage and flare out in an instant; a peculiar old lady keeps telling them, "Surrender the key. . . ." At first Marcus thinks he's going nuts, until the mystery gets personal. The Library may hold some answers, but the clock is running out. Because on these library shelves, the stories you don't finish might just finish you. . . .
