Horror is what Dan Law enjoys. He loves to read horror novels as a way to escape from his teaching job, from his loneliness, from the everyday dullness of life in Silver Lake. That's what Dan lives for. When a new bookstore opens in town, every visitor receives a free book of their own. A book that tells their own personal storyâŠa story they have to follow to the brutal end. As Silver Lake's population descends into violent savagery, Dan finds he is no longer living for horror novels â he's living inside one.
