A Book Written By The Dead

When struggling writer Naomi Hale Cross receives an unfinished manuscript from a relative who has been dead for years, she assumes it's a cruel mistake-or a grief-induced hallucination. But when the people named in its pages begin to die exactly as written, Naomi realizes the book is not fiction. It is a record. A prophecy. A living thing. Each chapter predicts a death before it happens. Every attempt to intervene only draws the manuscript closer to her life, rewriting itself in response to her choices.
As Naomi races to save others, she uncovers a terrifying truth: the book is watching her. Measuring her. Waiting. The final chapter bears her name-but no date. Blending literary fiction with slow-burning horror, A Book Written by the Dead explores the cost of authorship, the illusion of control, and the terrifying intimacy between observer and subject. As Naomi confronts the shadow living in the margins, she must decide whether fate can be challenged-or if acknowledging it is the final surrender.
Because some stories don't end when the last page is written. They wait.
