Short story

The Book Gobbler

A small oddity, quickly read.

Theo Mortimer has a secret. He eats books. He's never told anyone, and perhaps he'll never need to.

But when he finally manages to wrangle up the courage to talk with the dark-haired, olive-skinned woman at his local bookshop, everything he knew about how to live his life is thrown open. Some skeletons simply can't be safely locked in a cupboard forever.
