Five After Midnight

By: John Anthony Davis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Every store has its secrets. But at Pixel & Paper, the graveyard shift holds more than dust and old movies. For Marnie, the nightly ritual of feeding the backroom projector is just part of the job—until a sleek black box is installed, shattering the fragile boundary between story and reality. Now, hungry narratives are escaping their tapes and books, rewriting the world one terrifying concept at a time. To save her kingdom, Marnie must become a general in a war of tropes, fighting stories with stories, before the store's new favorite tale decides to write her into its final, bloody chapter.
