Publisher's Synopsis
Come peruse the dusty shelves of BOOK HAVEN. Scan the titles, study the strange trinkets that are lined up on display. Maybe pull aside the cobwebs and run your fingers alone the spines of the books, caress the artifacts. You will find many forgotten treasures and un-mined gems among the debris.
"Mark Allan Gunnells is one of our best short story writers, and this book continues that tradition. I loved reading this collection!"--John R. Little, author of Miranda, The Memory Tree, and The Murder of Jesus Christ
From the author of Flowers in a Dumpster comes a new collection of stories to terrify you, to move you, to make you think. In the title novella, readers are introduced to a future where all literature has been lost, but a group of government agents are on the hunt for the mythological Book Haven, a vast secret library. Along the way, they encounter mysteries and betrayals and are not sure who they can trust.
With Book Haven and Other Curiosities, Gunnells provides an eclectic mix of tales to entertain and engage the imagination. Some of what you find will be horrifying, some of it beautiful, but all of it is yours for the taking. We're so glad you found your way here and welcome you in side BOOK HAVEN.
