Library of Doom: The Word Eater by Michael Dahl (author)

A young man gets a splinter from a strange, silver book. That night, beneath the eerie glow of a full moon, the man transforms into the Word Eater. This hideous beast prowls the street, searching for words to eat. If the Librarian doesn’t stop it, every word and every thing on earth could disappear. A gripping short horror story for less able readers, merging easy-read text with atmospheric illustrations.
